PROJECT

University of Massachusetts Lowell Dormitory proposal   |   Collaboration with DiMella Shaffer

 

LOCATION

Lowell, MA

 

CLIENT

University of Massachusetts

 

STATS

500 bed dormitory

 

A new dormitory to house 500 students on the University of Massachusetts campus in Lowell.  The proposal seeks to establish a distinct pedestrian corridor by uniting the north and south campuses with its segregated and expanding east campus.  Taking cues from local mill buildings, the dorm is expressed as a sinuous masonry form with a raised central quadrangle concealing the parking below.
