The site was designed to maximize green space and create view corridors from Higgins through the site. Apartments are entered from common spaces, turning their ‘backs’ to parking areas, to promote interaction between students. Of particular note is the design of the Community Center, the building strives to reach a very high level of sustainable design utilizing principles such as rainwater collection and passive solar heating.
