Project Description

Enhanced Commissioning for USGBC LEED NC Silver Certification for a 115,000 square foot, 275 bed student housing facility expansion north of Phase I on Wildwood Drive at Florida State University. The housing facilities are two-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment style.

Commissioning services include HVAC systems, building automation controls, lighting controls, and domestic water heating. Commissioning services are provided in five (5) phases: pre-design, design, construction, acceptance, and post-acceptance.

Rather than a single building in the wing configuration, two separate buildings were designed to operate separately as FSU Housing desired. This gave the design team the opportunity to create a quad-style site design reminiscent of the warmth and charm of the historical quads of the east side of campus. The architectural scale and aesthetics were also driven by the campus's historical architecture and housing for undergraduates.

Pictures shown are Wildwood Halls Phase I.
