The 370-bed North Hall was the first phase of the University's goal of adding 5,000 housing units to its campus.  A budget of $125 per square foot was the major generator of the design for this design/build project  which is a simple six-story masonry bearing wall and concrete plank structure arranged in a double-loaded corridor configuration.  The majority of the building is comprised of two-bed apartments with bath, as well as a few single rooms.    The new facility includes study/social lounges, offices, a 380-seat dining facility, and extended service “Warrior Grille”.

 

The South Hall is a 6-story, 465-bed facility which utilizes the same architectural vocabulary as the North Hall for unity.  The building's U-shaped plan encloses a landscaped private courtyard for use by residents of both halls.  A double height “living room” serves as an anchor for the southern end of the courtyard and as a complement to the dining facility of the North Hall.  A first floor enclosed link connects both buildings for the residents' convenience.
