The Details

We helped the University of New England solve a student housing crisis on its waterfront campus.

We worked with the University for over a decade, under tight deadlines and on a campus constrained by environmental shoreline setbacks, and multiple regulatory commissions. Our projects included East and West Residence Halls, Champlain Residence Hall, Sandra Featherman Residence Hall and Sokokis Hall to add a total of 963 residence hall beds to the university. Elsewhere on campus, we designed the three-story George and Barbara Bush Center featuring the Bush Legacy Library, a student cafe, and administrative offices, and Morgane Science Hall, the first all-academic facility to be built on campus in over a decade.

  • Interior view of a lobby at a college campus student residence building. The corridor features light tan and wood colored walls/ceiling, and large bay windows looking into a common seating area.
  • An exterior view of the Jack S Ketchum Library at University of New England. Students are entering/exiting the library, which is shown at a head-on view. The entrance is comprised of large glass walls/windows, which overlooks into the stone courtyard area in front of the building.
  • Exterior view of the Bush Center building at UNE. The building features multiple levels and interesting architecture with a terrace level.
