Architectural\u00a0Design Project for Emerson College<\/h3>\r\n

E<\/span>lkus Manfredi Architects<\/a>, an architectural design company, designed an 18-story residence hall that answers Emerson College<\/a>\u2019s critical demand for on-campus housing, addresses the location challenges presented by the site, and most importantly, serves the needs and desires of Emerson students, who \u2013 as both creatives and millennials \u2013 crave spaces that provide opportunity for community, social connection, and inspiration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The new facility showcases Elkus Manfredi Architects\u2019 innovative thinking in the effective use of indoor space. Because Emerson\u2019s tight urban campus lacks outdoor communal areas for its gregarious and socially-engaged students, indoor opportunities for spontaneous student interaction, personal expression, and social gathering are an essential feature of any addition to the college\u2019s building inventory. Traditional college residential designs generally include a small, multi-purpose common space on every floor. Still, the new residence hall\u2019s relatively small footprint \u2013 just 5,400 gross square feet \u2013 rendered those types of areas impractical and an unacceptable drain on the building\u2019s overall capacity for occupancy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The new residence hall incorporates the fa\u00e7ade of the historic 3 Boylston Place building, also known as the Ancient Landmark Building, which features red brick masonry, stone, and copper in the eclectic combination of Queen Anne and Romanesque revival architecture unique to the area.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Elkus Manfredi Architects solved this challenge by creating larger shared community spaces on five floors in the building that are themed around the social needs and desires of the Emerson students who will occupy it. The new common rooms include:<\/p>\r\n
