Just In Spotlight University of Northern Colorado Name: West Campus Housing Project Opened: August 2008 (Phase 1) Cost: $56 million (Phases 1 and 2) Architect: Centerbrook Architects and Davis Partnership Architects The building that marks the first phase of the University of Northern Colorado’s West Campus Housing Project is home to 348 freshmen and upperclassmen in suite-style living. Various combinations of single and double bedrooms are available, with suites ranging from 450 to 800 square feet. Gone are the community bathrooms of old; suite-shared bathrooms are equipped with separate toilet and shower rooms to give students greater privacy. The building is designed with a lobby area on each floor separating two wings of student rooms. Each wing could be a mini-residence hall in itself, complete with a lounge, laundry room, and kitchen space. The main floor offers a game room including a pool table, jukebox, and flat screen TVs, optimal for video gaming. Outside patio areas are equipped with seat walls and power outlets, providing an ideal space for studying or socializing in the sunshine. With 9-foot ceilings, 40 study spaces, and several recycling alcoves located throughout the building, the project goes above and beyond the ordinary to meet the expectations of the modern resident. “The West Campus Housing Project really responds to students of 2008 and beyond,” says Tobias Guzmán, executive director of auxiliary and student services at UNC. Several security systems are in place to ensure student safety. Entry to any suite requires students to both swipe their ID cards and enter an access code. The building is also outfitted with indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras and a front desk that is staffed around the clock. The building houses a living-learning community geared toward students majoring in education. An additional program focusing on bilingual education specialization is in the works for Phase 2, and the building is scheduled to open in August 2009. The second phase of the project will replace McCowen Hall, built in 1963. Upon demolition, elements of the hall – including stonework, aluminum, and glass – will be recycled and incorporated into the new building. As the university’s first residence hall of the new millennium, the West Campus Housing Project has certainly raised the bar for UNC student housing. “This is true living,” Guzmán says. “Students will say, ‘This is what I thought about when I made my transition from high school to college.’” crediT (Greeley, Colorado) Talking Stick
