LIVING ENVIRONMENTS: GRADUATE STUDENT HOUSING FOR CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

Clemson University School of Architecture | 2018 Comprehensive Studio

i

“Graduate students felt that both the on-and off-campus markets were not currently meeting the needs of the graduate, family, and international student populations.

Graduate and family students indicated that they are willing to pay a premium for on-campus, family-focused units. Student participants enjoyed the on-campus unit-style options available to them. The recent demolition of Douthit Hills created an outcry among the graduate student population as they felt it eliminated any on-campus housing options for this population.�

-from the 2008 Clemson University Housing and Residence Life Master Plan, p. 66

BACKGROUND (part 1): GRADUATE HOUSING – PAST AND PRESENT The ongoing redevelopment of the Douthit Hills area on Clemson University’s campus anticipates a significant increase in housing options for upperclass undergraduate students. The new development aims to address the growing student body by maintaining the current percentage of “on-campus” residents. All of this while adding retail and other mixed uses. The new Douthit Hills has been described by planners as both a “mixed use residential village” and a “pedestrian friendly campus gateway”.

That being said, it will not address the housing needs of graduate students, married students, and other alternative populations. Early versions of the new Douthit Hills master plan included housing for the University’s graduate community – partly to replace the units which were previously demolished. However, planners had difficulty keeping costs competitive and opted for greater density in the new development (the preconception being that these populations require lower density). Therefore, dedicated housing for graduate students and students with families remains an area of need for the University.

v

BACKGROUND (part 2): CLEMSON STRATEGIC PLANNING AND ITS VALUES ClemsonForward is the University’s 10-year strategic plan grounded in Clemson’s historic strengths, but focused solidly on the future and the challenges facing South Carolina, the nation and the world in the 21st century. One of its objectives is to “accelerate growth and achievement in research, graduate education, diversity, inclusive excellence and the quality of the workplace for faculty and staff,” and it is built on four major strategic priorities: Research, engagement, the academic core and the living environment. Regarding “living environment” ClemsonForward aims to “strengthen the sense of community and connectedness that defines the Clemson Family by enhancing diversity, improving workplace quality of life and creating an environment of inclusive excellence. ClemsonForward will further enhance student life, continue and grow high-quality athletics programs, and focus on policies, facilities and professional and leadership development opportunities to make Clemson a great place to work, study and live.”

In concert with the goals of ClemsonForward is the University’s Framework Plan, a campus master plan that makes tangible the growth and environmental enrichment planned for the coming years. The space needs are functionally divided into “Learning / Research” and “Campus Life,” but it is understood that these arenas are necessarily integrated. The Framework Plan does not specifically address graduate housing, but does provide a good guide for understanding the University’s general approaches to its residential campus.

PROGRAMMATIC AND SITE CONSIDERATIONS PROGRAM •Housing for 300+ university members (distributed across approximately 200 residential units) •Mixed-use programming on site •Strategies for associated parking and access to campus which are sympathetic to the Clemson Framework Plan’s “Mobility Objectives,” which emphasize walkability and bicycle networks, among other points of emphasis In addition to these basic requirements, design teams are required to consider alternative leasing/contract models – namely shortterm housing for graduate students or visiting scholars whose work prevents full-semester residency. We will think of this as FLEXIBILITY OF PROGRAM. SITE There are four suggested sites from which to choose. Each design team will evaluate the suggested sites and make a selection based on its research and reasoning. The potential sites are diverse from one another and each has its own benefits and challenges. All are located on Clemson-owned property.

Site 1: Ravenel District Site 2: Douthit Hills Expansion Site vii

Site 3: Thornhill Village Redevelopment Site Site 4: Old Stone Church Road Properties Sites 1, 2 and 3 are described in Clemson’s Framework Plan.

Site 4 sits across from Mountain Laurel Drive, at the corner formed by Old Stone Church Road and West Cherry Road..

Student design teams may elect to pursue a site other than these four if they can offer compelling evidences for an alternative location.

TECHNICAL + OTHER CONSIDERATIONS TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS At 8:30 am on Sunday, December 3rd, the Clemson House, a longstanding and recognizable building on the campus, was imploded following months of systematic deconstruction. Having served since 1950 as both a hotel and a mixed- use dormitory, the facility was considered outdated and its structure was deemed too difficult and expensive to adapt and reuse. In light of this event, and in recognition of both the intensive material investments in our buildings and their ever-evolving uses, our studio design teams must carefully consider the potential for their proposed buildings and sites to adapt over time. We will think of this as FLEXIBILITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE. Additionally, student design proposals must address the University’s 2030 carbon neutrality goals, which state: “The ultimate goal of the Sustainability Action Plan and the President’s Commission on Sustainability is to make the University carbon neutral by the year 2030. Described as the Net-Zero goal, becoming carbon neutral means achieving zero net carbon emissions by balancing carbon dioxide released with an equivalent amount of renewable energy....

This ambitious goal will require multiple large-scale projects and can be accomplished through initiatives in six major areas: carbon-free energy sources; energy system efficiency; building energy efficiency; conservation/resource management/waste elimination; carbon

offsets; and transportation energy efficiency.” Importantly, “resource management” should be understood to include the carbon footprints associated building materials and methods of construction. In other words, teams should consider the topic of energy from a full life-cycle perspective (pre- occupancy, occupancy, and post-occupancy).

OTHER DESIGN CRITERIA •Housing addresses the needs of appropriately diverse populations and situations •Housing is cost-competitive, desirable and marketable •Water efficiency •Land-use and infrastructure efficiency in conjunction with the Framework Plan’s descriptions of “compact development”

PROJECT CHALLENGE This semester the graduate Comprehensive Studio takes on the challenge of designing University housing for graduate students, student families, visiting scholars, and other such unique populations. Additionally, students propose mixed uses for their sites, which address needs of the University community and which are complimentary to the housing program. Student proposals carefully consider the key tenets of the ClemsonForward strategic plan, as well as the growth and development strategies outlined in the Framework Plan.

REVOLVE RAVENEL | GROUP 1

Pragmatically Radical, yet Radically Pragmatic: Revolve Ravenel is aiming to change a lifestyle, it is also transforming a campus, a city, and a state. By offering streamlined apartments it is pushing students out of their units and into the common spaces and outdoors. By reducing the importance of cars and influencing university and city policy, a safer, more walkable campus and town is created. And by providing a new starting point for the Palmetto Trail, Clemson would become an activated node along a heavily traffiked path.

LILLIAN JONES LAURA SCIARRINO CO-CAMPUS | GROUP 2 The mission for Co-Campus is to provide a collaborative living environment that fosters social and cultural exchange to promote healthy lifestyles, all existing within the natural setting. This project works at three different scales: the city/campus, the Ravenel District, and the site.

Clemson University would be able to achieve its goals and expand its network by developing graduate student housing in the Ravenel District.

The current master plan for the area includes a proposal for fitness and recreation center, academic buildings, and campus support. Co-Campus would be able to complement this plan by providing the user group for all the new amenities. The intention for the site specifically is to integrate the housing units seamlessly with the existing topography, connect users through a public street, and introduce community-centric amenities that not only Clemson students could use, but residents from the town of Clemson as well.

THU DO JIAYU ZHAO LAYERED LIVING | GROUP 3 At the beginning, we wanted to focus on the personal experiences and more intimate moments for the residents. What kind of atmosphere do we want? How do they move through the space? And what kind of connections do they create? For our design approach, we set up three programmatic zones that create these ripples or arcs along the site. Within and throughout these zones, we incorporated these hardscape areas that blend into the previous zones together while also bringing people down through the site. At the top, we have the housing buildings that are integrated into the site and are derived from a modular system. By organizing these units strategically, we were able to create theses semi-narrow passages that then open up to several different sized courtyards. Then we layered these spaces with various terraces that connect these housing units to one another while also activating the exterior on another level. By doing so, we provide different rings, so to speak, of social interaction that ripple out from the unit to the courtyard to the whole housing pod and then continuing outward to the next two zones.

The community amenities form the next arc on the south-side of our housing that bridges between these public and private spaces. These buildings are able to provide functions for the everyday lives of the residents as well as the public. Finally, floating out on the lake, we have these lounge spaces, bars and restaurants, that are completely open to the public. We imagine this area as potentially becoming a graduate downtown that links our design proposal to the rest of Clemson University.

CULLEN SMITH J.T. PENNINGTON HARTLIGHT | GROUP 4 Hartlight is an on-campus housing community with a variety of amenities honed to the needs of Clemson’s graduate students. Nested in the dense vegetation of the Ravenel District, just west of Clemson’s main campus and across Lake Hartwell, Hartlight acts as a primary research location where graduate students can study and work within a short walk from home. Hartlight provides 267 total beds spread into 6 unique units that form two separate residential villages with central green spaces for outdoor activities and meetings at both sites. In the center of the Ravenel District is the Hub, an anchor to the community. The Hub holds a three story library, 22 research and study rooms, the Graduate Gallery for display of graduate research, the Dissertation Den for lectures and presentations, the Caffeine Cafe, and the Bike Barn to encourage the pedal and pedestrian friendly lifestyle.

LAUREN OVCA AILED MAZAS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS | GROUP 5 As Clemson University hopes to expand its graduate population through a new research campus, this project seeks to serve this group while responding to the bustling new campus and the calmness of the outdoors. Through the implementation of passive strategies, the project was able to not only achieve the 2030 Challenge goals, but also gives the residents individualized control to create their own comfortable environment. All in all, the project intends to create a community for students that are new to the area through the design of indoor and outdoor public space while making them feel at home.

EMILY HEEZEN ELIZABETH WIDASKI NEXUS | GROUP 6 Nexus is the new community in the Ravenel district of Clemson University. With the lack of graduate student housing on main campus, the new community allows for graduate students to live on campus land while still living a secluded life away from main campus. With the addition of new housing, other programs are designed into the new area to create the community including: a research center, cafe, food court, gallery, event space and fitness center. With the future growth of Clemson academic and research facilities on Ravenel, this will be a thriving community in the near future.

The two main goals of Nexus are to bring the LIVE WORK PLAY aspects of main campus over to Ravenel and to create two distinct lifestyles for the diverse residents (active/social and natural/quiet) using the existing site conditions. Nexus consists of seven buildings connected by a large central exterior space that promotes a mix of users (residents, students, professors, public) to participate in a mix of activities. A transition of facade materials flows through the project from west to east (concrete veneer to wood cladding) to accentuate the contrasting landscape of the site while still creating a cohesive community.

JESS DANCER LAUREN GRZIBOWSKI OPPOSED DUALITIES | GROUP 7 Located at the corner of Cherry Road and Old Stone Church Road is the optimal site for a graduate student housing complex: seated within the Experimental Forest, adjacent to Lake Hartwell, with neighboring university agricultural programs and existing residential communities nearby. The strong topography of the site and the two drastically different microclimates of meadow + forest separated by a dense tree line played a crucial role in the form and programmatic division of the site. Reflecting the tree line into the meadow sits the community portion of our site: exhibition space, student center, daycare + gym. Studio units sit at the top level of two of the buildings, providing transient housing for part-time students, visiting professors, etc. Extending radially off the tree line into the forest are seven strips of residential townhomes, with varying unit sizes (1 bed, 2 bed + 3 bed, from 1-3 levels) stacked strategically around the site to best integrate residents together. The townhomes are dual-sided, the front facing its neighbors while the back is embedded within the existing dense forest. A large pedestrian path runs horizontally across the site along the edge of the forest, serving as a connector between the community + residential buildings. Working with opposing dualities such as atmospheres and textures, we were able to create a graduate community that balances on the edge of two very unique environments.

The housing portion of the site is created LEVELthat 02 made up of seven rows of townhouses lace into the forest. The townhouses are arranged to create central courtyards to foster a neighborhood feel, yet every resident also has a facade facing the dense forest, giving a kind of natural privacy unqiue from typical university housing. The surrounding dense trees create a micro-climate of protection that shades the residents in the hot climate while still allowing for natural light.

The sloping of the site towards Lake Hartwell allows the townhousesto sink into the earth, disconnecting them visually from the commercialsector. The changing topography and dense trees create achange in air pressure coming from the lake therefor generating maximum cross breezes across the site that act as a passive cooling system.

Ready-made panels of walls and roofs creates ease of construction on-site. Because the units are repeated, these systems can be manipulated and replicated according to the placement of units. Wide chase walls located on the edge of each building serve as the catch-all for plumbing, electrical and mechanical, with branches shooting off at each level. A mechanical room located in between units [depending on building setup] is accessed from the exterior, meaning minimal interruption to the residents’ daily lives.

PRE-FAB LIGHT-WOOD The meadow creates a natural open FRAMING STRUCTURE boundary between pedestrians and the highly active Cherry Road. Allowing the pedestrian street to be both visually and 2 acoustically separated gives a sense of selfreliance to the site. The openness creates a visual connection between the site’s users and the sky, allowing maximum light, which 1 contrasts with the ever-changing light and shadow play that is experienced within the 2 forest.

MEADOW | COMMUNITY RENDERING | FOREST LIVING

TOWNHO SYSTEM

The experience of living is explored through a multitude of dualities including: the meadow vs the forest, opaque vs translucent facades, and the natural vs artificial materials. The site sits along a dense tree line that acts as a divider between the commerical and residential sectors. These two sectors create microclimates of different experiences through light, temperature, and acoustics. This “spine� acts as a connector and is dedicated to the movement of people naturally through the site, reducing the need for cars and encouraging encounters with fellow residents and students.

CHELSEA ANDERSON ATIKA JAIN VERTICAL HALL | GROUP 8 To align with the aim for Clemson University to become a top research university Vertical Hall targets to provide the architecture that can support that future identity. The project sits right at the midst of downtown joining connections to the existing and growing campus. The downtown location serves to add density to a growing downtown and allow the ability to walk and bike, with less reliance on the car. This strategy promotes a connected community within the university where the public and university can share ideas; pivotal in research. The aim is to promote a new way of living, working by serving the graduate student population as well as the community. The program is inspired by the now demolished Clemson house, looking at the mix of living arrangements and amenities. The program for the future forms around an idea of communal living and working, with small room sizes that pour into communal spaces for study, cooking, eating and gathering. Amenities that serve the university as well as the public serve as social mixers to foster a healthy research environment and diverse population. Vertical Hall transpires to be net zero building reaching the university’s 2030. The strategy is to first reduce energy with passive systems, add active systems to reach net zero, and push into positive territory by adding electricity to the grid and offsetting carbon through storage in the Mass Timber structure.

VIRGINIA HUNT JESSICA SCHULTZ QINGQING SUN CONNECTIONS IN CONTEXT | GROUP 9 “Connections in Context” is an urban dwelling environment composed of 244 residential units and mixed-use programming on the northern edge of Clemson University’s campus. The carefully selected site rests at the meeting point of three important zones: off-campus private residential, downtown Clemson and the Clemson University campus. New development along the northern boundary of Clemson connects the campus to the residential zone, but the campus remains separated from downtown.

“Connections in Context” fills a spatial void between the downtown zone and the new northern campus development and creates a pedestrian path linking College Avenue and the new business school and Douthit Hills. Commercial programming throughout allows the site to function as a pedestrian extension of College Avenue.

KATIE TURNER JUHEE PORWAL UNWIND | GROUP 10 This 175 unit University Housing Project is a combination of studio, one-bedroom, and two bedroom apartments, as well as townhouses towards the eastern edge of the site. This project sits on a hill facing the campus and the newly built Douthit Hills undergraduate student housing. The close proximity to campus and other amenities makes this site a perfect location for graduate students and their families. In addition to housing, the project includes an international market, study spaces, a tea cafe, a bike shop, a library, and a restaurant. A winding path up the hill connects all of the houses, and creates a lively network of internal streets. There are additional paths that cut through the building blocks to provide easy access through the site as well as views towards the campus. The project aims to be a sustainable, mixed community that provides for the needs of a diverse group of students.
