Project Description
FROM THE AIA NEW YORK STATE:

The project’s goal was to create a student living community, with the emphasis placed on “community.”

All apartments have entry porches and full lite entry doors which look directly out to a public realm organized around a system of small scale, pedestrian, streets and squares. A central pedestrian street leads to a community building/village center with shared services and activity/meeting space. The community building forms a literal gateway to the academic buildings of the campus beyond.

The University Village Townhouse Project is also environmentally sustainable and has achieved LEED for Homes Platinum Certification.
