The Olympic and Centennial residence halls totaled a massive 343,000 square feet ranging from eight to ten stories and accommodating 1800 beds as well as a 7000 square foot basement for housing maintenance and facility storage.
Due to these combined needs from both the University and the student body, We realized early on that building access for both students and university employees would be of prime importance.
Key features
Site Logistics became an immediate challenge due to the tight space as well as the university and our desire to preserve as many trees as possible on the natural site slope and avoid disruption of many indigenous migratory birds as well as any possible future erosion of the hillside. In addition, the site was surrounded by additional student residence halls, a library, and tennis courts; all of which were required to be fully operational during construction.
Project development process
We surveyed the entire area with the help of drones to obtain geographic and underground utility data. After this, recommendations were made to the design team, locating the footprint of the new buildings and utility tie-ins to avoid relocation of existing lines, minimize removal of existing vegetation and dirt, and concurrently keep overall costs for shoring down.
