The new UM Housing project is a cross between traditional student housing and apartment living. The units were designed as stand alone two and three bedroom apartments with students assigned to units. This project had a very aggressive schedule as the design team started in mid September with bid documents scheduled to be completed by the end of January 2003. Construction completed by fall semester 2004. The Community Center portion of the project was developed as a demonstration in sustainable building techniques. Through the use of recycled materials, low maintenance systems, energy efficiency, water collection systems site orientation, the community center is a model for ‘green building’ in Montana. The following design features were incorporated into the project: southern exposure of the Community Hall with a trombe wall design, foam/concrete wall system with 87% recycled materials, SIP panel roof system, energy efficient windows, water collection system for irrigation, and energy efficient lighting and heating systems.
