Chestnut Hill College

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA

In January 2006, after an accelerated design–build process, Chestnut Hill College opened its new, 6-story, 55,000sf dormitory. The project features suite–style housing for 146 students, and a Student Center on the first floor that serves the entire college community of 550 undergraduate students and 750 graduate students. Designed to accommodate multiple activities, the student center provides room for student organizations, and a TV lounge, rec room, formal lounge, snack bar/dining area, and health center. Wireless internet access is provided throughout the building and computer “touch-down” stations are distributed throughout the serpentine corridor.
