What happens to campus-adjacent housing if the ways people pursue higher education change?
As a multitude of factors is quickly reshaping the future of work and raising questions about educational pathways, we’re considering what those shifts could mean for housing near campus. Designing for a broader resident mix offers one way to prepare for several possible futures.
In an early design concept for a proposed five-story, 145-unit community, STUDIO is exploring a traditional apartment approach intended to serve both students and professionals. Shared amenities, proximity to campus and convenient transportation connections support a range of routines, from getting to class to commuting to work.
The thinking extends beyond today’s leasing needs. A broader mix of residents and more traditional living arrangements could help the community adapt as demand changes over time.
