In an effort to promote graduate student community and retention at Emory University, Ayers Saint Gross has designed a two-phased housing project specifically targeted toward graduate and professional students. The housing community, which includes a parking deck and a community center, will include 1,000 beds in a mixture of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, allowing students to select housing based on their preferences for size, price, and single versus double occupancy.
To facilitate a sense of community among graduate and professional students, there will be first-floor community areas including a fitness center, open study areas, and a kitchen.
This project is being delivered through a public-private partnership with American Campus Communities.
A rendered site plan shows the landscaping design approach for the Emory Graduate Housing.
Designed to be consistent with and reflective of the campus’s wooded context, the on-campus complex is located within a 15-minute walk to all of Emory’s graduate academic programs, libraries, and labs, and accessible to a series of campus trails and public transportation.
