Four residence halls around a central green, delivered in 20 months and ready for move-in weekend.
Move-in weekend cannot slip. Four buildings with 1,320 beds had to be designed, built, furnished and inspected in 20 months. Each hall had to be signed off for occupancy, and the green between them had to be finished too, or students would be carrying boxes through a construction site.
The approach.
- 01
Four buildings, one rhythm
The halls started in staggered sequence, so each trade moved from building to building without stopping.
- 02
Standard rooms, repeated
A small set of room types let crews learn the work once and repeat it with fewer questions and less rework.
- 03
Inspections as they went
Floors were inspected as they finished, so no single inspection week stood between the team and occupancy.
- 04
Move-in support on site
Furniture, keys and life-safety tests were complete ahead of time, and our team stayed through move-in weekend.
The outcome.
“The deadline was a moving truck full of parents. We planned every week backward from that driveway.”
