Situated in a thriving metropolitan suburb, the new residence hall is the first one on Northern Kentucky University’s campus in over 17 years.

 

Occupied only by first-year students, the building responds to the university’s desire to cultivate a strong residential community.

Housing nearly 300 students, the modern five-story structure features an outdoor plaza and green space to foster social connection. The facility incorporates sustainable design strategies that alleviate high energy and water costs.

Community-Centered Design

On the ground floor, a vibrant lobby welcomes students towards an open, light-filled commons area. Ample space surrounds a nearby central community kitchen where students can eat, gather, socialize, study, and develop lasting relationships.

Additional amenities on the ground floor include a spacious laundry facility, large classrooms, and an apartment for the resident hall director.

Careful attention was given to the durability and cleanability of all materials and finishes throughout the facility to ensure long term building maintenance and a healthy indoor environment.
The resulting facility reflects the university’s commitment to providing community-centered environments through design that fosters a positive residential college experience.
