This schedule for this four and a half year project began with the demolition of existing student family housing with extensive removal of hazardous materials. A total of 558 new two- and three-bedroom student housing units, associated laundry rooms and mailrooms were distributed through 29 three-story buildings. The 22 acres of sitework included complete design and construction of infrastructure, pavement and landscape. A special consideration was the requirement that 100% of storm water runoff be filtered before emission into adjacent creeks. This was accomplished with extensive use of planted bioswales.
