To better serve its growing student body, Lander University decided to construct new student housing. This exciting campus addition needed to acknowledge the university’s traditionalism, while reducing any environmental impacts and keeping costs down for students.

Davis & Floyd, in association with architects at Garvin Design Group, worked to bring this vision to life.

Together, our firms designed a 70,000 SF, LEED Silver-Certified, and 210-bed dormitory building. The three-story residence hall replaced aging units on the campus and provided a spacious, modern suite layout with more private bathrooms for residents. The structure featured extensive green landscaping, a formal courtyard, and outdoor lighting. The building was lined with floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing students to study and socialize in sunny halls. With Lander’s goals in mind, our team designed an outdoor space that would serve the growing university for generations to come.
