28 Dec Shippensburg University Promotes New Living/Learning Suites
December 28, 2012
Shippensburg University has released a brochure on their newly completed Living/Learning Suites.
The largest multi-phased project in the University’s history, this 900,000 SF student housing project will include approximately 2,700 beds after all three phases are complete. With a goal on enhancing the University’s Living / Learning environment and increasing the interaction between students, professors and University staff, the project focuses on creating large campus gathering spaces inside and outside of the buildings and offers an array of flexible housing arrangements.
- Shippensburg University Phase I Housing – November 2012
To reinforce the University’s Living / Learning programs, the unit designs, consisting of semi-suites and full suites, were complimented with multi-purpose programming areas, study and social lounges, and a student games room in each building. Strong networks of pedestrian pathways that double as utility and emergency corridors connect the new campus cores to the existing academic buildings and promote the integration of all campus users within the residential districts.
Phase I is complete with a student move in date of January 2013 with the remaining buildings to be completed by Summer 2015.
