Albany State University
Albany, Georgia
Name: Residence Halls 5 & 6 Opened: August 2011 • Cost: $23 million Architects: Lord, Aeck & Sargent Architecture and Chasm Architecture Coinciding with the expansion of its student population, Albany State University has designed and developed a new 626-bed residential complex to accommodate the increased enrollment. By lending itself to living-learning communities and an emphasis on the arts, the new housing facility promotes collaboration and interaction among its residents. Featuring modern designs and room layouts, the residential complex is made up of two halls, one housing 400 freshmen and the other housing 226 returning students. Each of the buildings features apartment-style rooms, with the freshman hall including four persons per unit and the upper-level student hall featuring two persons per unit. Returning students are offered greater privacy and amenities through the inclusion of one-person bedrooms and the addition of a kitchenette area. In an effort to encourage academic and social engagement, the complex offers various amenities to students, including business centers on each floor, 24-hour study lounges, gaming rooms, and laundry facilities. A distinct feature within the complex is its common area space, which offers many resources for the residents. Along with spacious lobbies and multipurpose rooms, the area also reflects an appreciation for the arts with the inclusion of a dance studio as well as a multi-functional movie theater that can also serve as a lecture room and a space for theater productions and practices. The space also features convenient dining opportunities for residents with the addition of a Pizza Hut Express. Bonisha Porter, director of housing and residence life, is hopeful that students will respond positively to their new residence: “We want to provide accommodations that are conducive to their learning experience, while satisfying in their social lives. We intentionally designed the halls to lend to their levels of excitement about learning and about the college experience.”
