Indiana University North Residence Hall
History
In December 2014, the IU Board of Trustees approved the design of a new residence hall to be located on North Street. The North Hall was and designed by MSKTD Architects and construction was completed in August 2016. The new 172,000-square-foot (16,000 m)student residence has a capacity of 700 beds and cost a total of $45.2 million. The residence offers single rooms, singles with bathrooms, and double rooms for students. The building also features a computer lab, student lounges, a game room, fitness center, laundry room, and two classrooms. North Hall differs from other campus residence halls by offering rooms for freshmen and sophomores instead of only first-year students.
Architecture
The North Residence Hall consists of two residential wings, four and six stories respectively, and features a modern design complementary to downtown Indianapolis. The building has achieved a LEED Silver Certification with high marks in sustainable sites. Architectural design was supported by KWK Architects. The hall contains nineteen 37-resident houses with a mix of traditional single and double occupancy rooms and small community bathrooms, and each house has a glass-enclosed lounge. Powers & Sons Construction and Messer Construction partnered on the "construction manager as constructor" (CMc) project, and managed all field operations and logistics.
