Ground up construction of new residence hall with 178-beds for students, providing much-needed living space for the expanding community at Wheaton College. The building was constructed with steel-framing and hollowcore concrete planks, and includes a laundry room, student lounges, study rooms, a small student kitchen, a laundry room, and a multi-purpose room. A rigorous construction pace was maintained with careful adherence to the schedule and coordination with the school. Sustainability was a key theme in concept, materials, and construction, naming Pine Hall the first Passive House dormitory in MA while providing substantial financial savings to the owners.
