Story

The 2003 Washington & Jefferson housing master plan indicated a need for an additional 740 beds. A two-phase building plan included apartments style living for upper class students and theme housing to replace on-campus fraternity and sorority units. The theme housing features 10 building units designed to accommodate 260 beds. The colonial revival style architecture was varied from unit to unit to reflect a unique home for each group. Floor plans were varied slightly in addition to material selections and design for the front porches; various brick color and exterior trim on the architectural elements. Great care was taken to present compatible designs that would be easily maintained while offering individuality to the occupants.

The housing complex is comprised of a total of 10 buildings; 7 units are freestanding buildings, and 3 units form the last building, sharing only common walls, no shared amenities. Each of the 10 units offers 26 beds in a mix of traditional designed double and single occupancy rooms. There are community baths dispersed throughout the buildings. A parlor room (which serve as chapter rooms when Greek organizations are the occupants), study room and efficiency kitchens occupy the common space on the first floor.
