STUDENT HOUSING

The right university housing experience creates a recruiting advantage.

2 | STEINBERG

University housing demands

have evolved and a successful

project is increasingly defined

by remarkable residential

experiences. The quality of

residential life has become a key

differentiator for recruiting and

retaining students and faculty

for institutions with national and

global reach.STEINBERG | 3

Our multifamily residential and

hospitality expertise enhances

our abilities in student housing.

The influence of multifamily and

hospitality on university housing

will deepen as institutions

seek to provide an increasingly

diverse set of housing options

and experiences to Millennials - a

generation the President’s Council

of Economic Advisers has called

the largest, most diverse and

educated to date.

Student housing continues to draw from the multifamily and hospitality market sectors.

STUDENT HOUSING 01

University of Cal i fornia, Los Angeles Hitch Student Residences

The recently renovated Hitch Student Residences, located

on the northwest edge of campus, is a complex of four

three-story residential buildings organized around a series

of courtyards and a new commons building with shared

amenities and meeting spaces. The renovation project was

conceived to address accessibility and life-safety deficiencies,

including seismic strengthening of the existing structures and

inclusion of fire protection systems. The project also provided

the opportunity to update the exterior image and energy

performance of the buildings by providing a new “skin” as well

as updating the interior spaces with new finishes. The existing

outdated commons building was replaced with a new building

that provides support functions for the Hitch community

including study areas, offices, laundry facilities, vending, and a

multipurpose space that includes a display kitchen.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

The project site was reimagined by utilizing sloped walkways

combined with new landscaping to mitigate the existing

hillside topography that connect a series of courtyards and

outdoor areas. Improvements to the site and recreation

facilities help to bolster the sense of community for the

residents.

Today, the complex has been transformed into a memorable

and socially vibrant environment for future generations of

students. Each suite has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a

living room. In addition to the renovation, new courtyard and

recreation spaces were developed, along with a new commons

building that houses a community kitchen and multipurpose

rooms. The new design capitalizes on views to the neighboring

mountains and ocean, creating a unique student environment

and a haven from the remainder of the urban campus.

Stanford University, Graduate School of Business, Highland Hal lIN ASSOCIATION WITH LEGORRETA+LEGORRETA

Highland Hall is the newest residence hall for Stanford’s

Graduate School of Business (GSB) and includes 200 suite-

style bedroom units. Designed by Steinberg and Legorreta +

Legorreta, the building’s wings, ranging from one-story to four-

story, are arranged around three courtyards, each of which

has its own personality and character. Situated adjacent

to the existing Schwab Residence Hall, also designed by

Steinberg and Legorreta + Legorreta, the concept for the new

building incorporates the vocabulary of Schwab.

STANFORD, CALIFORNIA

A series of interconnected courtyards and arrival spaces link

the two buildings. The goal is to house the entire fi rst year

MBA program in one central location to allow for interaction,

bonding, networking, and a cohesive sense of camaraderie.

In addition to graduate students, the building will also house

GSB’s executive program, which houses 60 executives during

the academic year and as many as 200 in the summer.

University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Cruz Hall Renovation

Steinberg addressed the programmatic needs and improved

the usability, functionality, and social interactions within the

Santa Cruz residence community. Renovations consisted of

the lobby, formal lounge, recreation room, TV Lounge, and

the secondary lounges in resident wings. Particular focus

was placed on generating greater fl exibility and quality of

materials to create a more inviting and vibrant sense of place

and activity.

SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA

This renovation is in response to new building codes,

life safety issues, improving energy effi ciencies, and

upgrading interior fi nishes while enhancing student life

and interaction. The building has 216 dormitory rooms

for approximately 579 residents connected by a central

common area. The site is located on the south side of

Cal i fornia State University, Ful lerton Student Housing & Dining

FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA

The California State University (CSU), Fullerton, Student Housing Phase III was the

fi rst project within the CSU system to achieve LEED Platinum certifi cation. Student

socialization is enhanced within this six building complex which combines living,

social, and recreational spaces. The basic building block is a 24-student living

space with social recreation and quiet study spaces. Outside, a piazza teems with

activity from the surrounding housing, classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and dining

venues. A light-fi lled dining hall anchors the complex and serves as a community

destination. This project was completed four months ahead of schedule, allowing

the University to utilize the facility for Summer conferences.

The approach to sustainability is holistic, encompassing every aspect of the student

experience. These elements include infrastructure enhancements such as rooftop

photovoltaics and a centerpiece fountain that operates only when the campus

is hitting water-savings goals, as well as elements that encourage sustainable

behaviors, such as 900 secure bike parking spaces located just steps from student

housing.

New Mexico State UniversityStudent Housing Phase II

The design of Chamisa Village, Phase II completes the existing

housing community and provides New Mexico State University

an opportunity to further establish their identity within the

New Mexico landscape. This attractive 127,000 SF residential

complex of 2- and 4-bedroom housing units is set among

beautifully landscaped desert courtyards.

In addition to providing the campus with an additional 282

beds, Steinberg designed uniquely programmed courtyards

and exterior social space to help realize the University’s goal

of creating a place where students and faculty can gather,

converse, share knowledge, and enjoy their surroundings.

Located adjacent to a large surface parking lot, the design of a

landscaped entry point will transform the new LEED Gold facility

into a public gateway to the campus.

LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO

The design and completion of Phase II defi nes and helps

unify the existing landscape of the campus which responds

to the natural elements and views of the surrounding Organ

Mountains. Contextually relevant colors and materials have

been integrated into the design to maintain a cohesive feel

within the University. The architectural language refl ects

and responds to the constraints of the site, while providing a

contemporary style upgrade to the campus.

from the original tenant, Amp Automotive, after which the

project is named. Original brickwork will be reclaimed and

used throughout. A bowstring truss from the demolished

structure will be re-imagined to form the roof of the

Clubhouse. The live/work units, ranging from studios to three-

bedrooms, have an industrial palette with exposed ducts and

polished concrete fl oors for a factory-like look and feel.

The Epiphany Hotel

PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA

Casa Olga, originally permitted as a hotel in 1971,

has been renamed The Epiphany and has been

remodeled into an 86-room, four-star hotel. The

renovation, completed in partnership with Joie

de Vivre, included voluntary seismic upgrades, an

exterior skin renovation, conversion of the fi rst

fl oor into a lobby and 24-hour restaurant with back-

of-house functions, and the addition of eight guest

rooms on the eighth fl oor where current dining

facilities exist.

The conversion into a boutique hotel follows a

thorough ideation phase orchestrated by design

fi rm IDEO, where the aesthetic character of the

hotel’s interior were carefully considered. The

new hotel aims to capture the spirit of Palo Alto --

curious, optimistic, entrepreneurial, tapped

in and vital -- while its aesthetic vision embodies

the region’s commitment to sustainability by

pursuing LEED certifi cation and using raw, rustic

and natural materials.

better product in urban environments. There is a synergy

between the Tommie Hotel brand ethos and the cultural

fabric of the location – one of Los Angeles’ most walkable

neighborhoods. In the heart of Hollywood, the site is on

Cahuenga Boulevard just south of amenity-fi lled Sunset

Boulevard.
