FLOOR

• Choice + Voice: Floor spaces like community kitchens give students agency and allow students to connect over a meal and to learn about each other’s cultures through food and cooking traditions.

• Connection: Lounges, stairways, and corridors work together to create porous spaces that encourage students to study, socialize, and forge new connections.

• Comfort: Bathrooms that offer safety and privacy are a fundamental dignity owed to all. Accessible and gender-inclusive restrooms are foundational in generating a sense of belonging and community and promoting acceptance within a student body.

• Security + Well-Being: On-floor community amenities such as kitchen, bathroom, and laundry facilities, place everyday activities near the unit, keeping them visible and accessible to help provide a sense of home.

• Signage + Direction: Giving floors distinct color palettes and design identities generates a sense of creativity, excitement, and belonging to a unique community.
