Williamsport, PA
The complex consists of 13 two-story buildings, all of which are dedicated to housing except for a guardhouse / laundry building located at the main entrance.
The College was a non-traditional institution with a non-traditional need: to build its first-ever College-owned housing, to tailor this housing to its demographically unique student body.
Located at the northeast side of the campus, the complex is adjacent to Williamsport’s Historical District and is designed to reflect the Victorian-style architecture of the surrounding neighborhood within a gated community.
Occupancy occurred 16 months after the project began design, despite an extensive city approval process, a winter construction start, and the statutory requirements for multi-prime public bidding.
