유니버시티 홀은 학생들을 위한 기숙시설 및 다양한 커뮤니티 스페이스로 구성된다. 각 객실은 타입에 따라 1베드부터 6베드까지 배치되며 각 개실마다 욕실, 거실, 주방이 자리한다. 기숙사의 건축적 특징은 주변에 위치한 산과 나무를 모티브로 디자인되는 거대한 아치와 주변자연환경 속에 동화되는 벽돌마감에서 찾아 볼 수 있다. -마치 숲속에 놓여진 두그루의 나무를 연상시키는- 내부공간 구성 또한 이러한 맥락을 이어간다. 각 개실과 복도는 트리캐노피로부터 뻗어 나가는 나뭇가지와 같이 배치 조닝되며 그라운드 레벨의 공용부와 미팅룸 또한 우드천장과 컬러풀한 가구(야생화)들로 또하나의 숲을 형상화한 랜드스케이프를 생성한다. 다시 외부로 시선을 돌려, 레드와 블랙 컬러로 배열된 외부 치장벽돌은 마치 나무껍질을 연상시키며 건물 전체를 자연과 밀착시킨다. 이러한 테마의 연속은 그랑드아치에서 정점을 이룬다. 5개층에 걸쳐 오픈된 아치는 패턴컬러 우드패널로 마감된 내부 측면안으로 학생라운지와 스터디룸이 배치된다. 그리고 전면 커튼월을 통해 캠퍼스와 산을 바라다보는 풍경 및 개방성을 확보하며 여기 기숙사의 건축적 특징을 마무리 한다.

University Hall features 1, 4 and 6 bedroom suites, including singles
and doubles, each with a shared suite bath, living room and kitchenette.
The woods and mountains surrounding University Hall inspired
the architecture and interior design of the new building. Designed
around the concept of a student’s journey of ‘walking through the woods
toward the light’ ADD Inc created a building shaped like “two trees
fallen in the forest” with a large arch that leads from a wooded
overlook of the Tekoa mountains back to the campus quad.

Location: Westfield, MA, USA

Inside, student rooms and corridors extend like branches out to
study perches in the tree canopy. Ground floor common areas and meeting
rooms feel like the forest floor with wooded ceilings and colorful
furnishings that evoke “wild flowers”.
Following this theme, the building’s exterior consists of
highly textured red and black brick that resembles bark, while the
inside communal courtyard is composed of wood-tone panels. The
building’s interior space is similarly inspired through the strategic
use of dark colors that gradually grow lighter down the corridors into
the “branches” of the building.
ADD Inc’s primary objective was to provide diverse units with a
variety of common space options that range from a large multi-purpose
room for university functions to common lounges and kitchens for
socializing to intimate light-filled “perch” lounges that are ideal for
quiet study and showcase views of the surrounding woods.
The building’s Grand Arch is an all-glass, floor-to-ceiling, five-story
archway with open spaces for student lounging and studying that
overlooks the campus with dramatic “window to the world” views of the
Tekoa Mountains.
As a nod to today’s environmental concerns and pursuit of LEED Silver certification, green features were used throughout the building, including recycled and regional materials, highly sustainable interface carpet, and reclaimed wood elements were used for the reception desk and for the large bay window seat on the ground floor.
