Madison, New Jersey
Silver LEED certified McLendon Hall provides 165 beds for upper classmen. The suite style units consist of two or three doubles with shared bath and common area. Each floor features a centrally located pod for small group study or socializing while a student center on the ground floor provides multiple lounge spaces, a student business center, a club room, a laundry facility, a vending area/kitchenette, and a large Shop N’ Go. Among the building’s many sustainable design strategies is a geothermal heatpump system and “green screen” display which permits students to observe the building’ energy and water consumption and performance.
