Building design honors the neighborhood at proposed University of New Haven Student Resident Hall

Trinity Financial retained Kenneth Boroson Architects to provide a design concept for a new student resident hall at the University of New Haven. The concept was provided on a fast-track basis over a two week period.

The program provides for 70 suites (10 of which are accessible) of 5 students for a total of 350 beds; 10 Resident Advisor suites for a total of 10 beds and a director’s apartment for a total of 1 bed. The total number of beds is 361. In addition there are common spaces such as lounges, seminar rooms, studies, a gym, a dining hall with a food service kitchen, laundry rooms, a rooftop garden and adequate parking.

The development of the building’s architectural vocabulary is consistent with traditional university housing design. The student housing structure is organized as an “L-shaped building” with resident suites in each “leg” and public and service spaces in the core.
