    Wells Quadrangle Residence Halls and Dining Facility

    A Seamless Addition to Goodbody Hall Enhances Dining and Outdoor Gathering at Wells Quad

    The design of the addition to Goodbody Hall required a solution that integrated seamlessly into the architectural character of Wells Quadrangle. The 1-story addition emerges from the base of the existing Goodbody Hall, and houses a dining area with open views toward the quad. A roof terrace above is accessed from both the exterior grade and the second level. This elevated terrace provides options for outdoor seating and a sweeping overlook to the quad.

    Coordinated Renovation Maximizes Space While Delivering Modern Systems and Student Housing

    The overall project required careful coordination to maximize usable space while accommodating updated MEP systems and the technology infrastructure demanded by today’s residence halls.

    The renovation created accommodations for 174 students. The room configuration is comprised of a mix of 2-bedroom apartments, 2-bedrooms suites, single rooms, and double rooms. A variety of restroom configurations are available depending on the room type.

  • Honors College and Residences

    Honors College and Residences

    Where Research, Active Learning, and Innovation Converge

    The academic spaces consist of approximately 40,000 square feet to accommodate faculty and staff offices, classrooms, innovation space, and study spaces. Learning and leadership opportunities include a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and agriculture, math) research lab, active learning studios, and an Innovation Forum – featuring an interactive, programmable floor – provides a showcase for student projects.

    STEAM Research Lab

    A dedicated STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and agriculture, math) research lab is thoughtfully designed to foster experiential learning, innovation, and leadership.

    The Great Hall Stands at the Center of the Honors College Experience

    The “Great Hall”, a flexible space that can be configured to seat more than 400 for lectures, presentations, and events, is the centerpiece of the Honors College. The space is located in the center of the community with access to a primary campus path and greenspace.

    Living Learning Community Designed for Connection

    The two buildings that make up the community – each with academic space and residential space – are located within the University’s “student success corridor.” Over 800 students live in clusters of roughly 24 students in pod configurations complemented by community and social areas designed to foster informal interaction and collaboration.

    Well‑Planned Residential Living with Shared Amenities on Every Floor

    Each residential floor includes approximately 27 student rooms—primarily doubles—with shared bath facilities and a dedicated lounge and kitchen.

Included in this two-story connector is a large multi-purpose room for the community, as well as designated Living-Learning maker spaces for Education.

    Student Makerspace and Learning Resource Center

    The makerspace on the second floor of North West Residence Hall was created for students in education and humanities programs, with an open, flexible layout designed to support hands on learning and access to a wide range of equipment and technology.

    Traditional Double and Single Rooms Organized for Efficiency

    For the purpose of efficiency, floor plans for each phase are similar and include traditional-style double- and single-bedroom units arranged around a group of private-use bathrooms.

    Spaces for Collaboration and Community

    Amenities for each new facility will include a large multi-purpose room, collaboration spaces, a recreation/game room, a community kitchen, and multiple student lounges.

    Designed for Outdoor Living and Learning

    The buildings are designed to maximize the use of exterior spaces and to engage the students in active areas of living and learning.
