This 250,000 sq ft building houses a 600 room student residence, indoor sports and recreational facilities, a food court and central kitchen, medical clinic, offices, retail kiosks, and a parking floor. The client’s intention was to construct a relatively high density development in the rear part of the existing 7 acre campus – in order to retain open space for academic areas towards the front.
The building is of a 'podium and tower' type, with housing above and common facilities tucked into the podium. A split-level central courtyard forms a community space with a food court on the lower level and student plaza above. A grand open-to-sky stair forms a central feature, connecting parking floor with lower and upper plazas.
The generic design is a linear strip of individual rooms serviced by a doubly loaded corridor and interspersed with lifts, stairs, toilets, laundry facilities & lounges. The overlay creates a complex and varied rhythm of individual rooms, common facilities and social spaces. Building mass of the tower is punctuated by large terrace garden voids that form student community spaces; while making the structure porous. The program layers are visually distinguished externally by the use of material - exposed concrete for lower service areas, green marble cladding in public spaces and white plaster for the upper residential part.
