KieranTimberlake recently broke ground on a 1,625 student dining hall and residential life community at UC Berkeley. Replacing a vast asphalt parking lot, the new student housing addresses the critical housing shortage in Berkeley and is designed to foster an inclusive sense of community and cooperative living—directly in alignment with the values of the campus’ residential life programs: academic success, community engagement, diversity and global consciousness, identity exploration, and holistic wellness. Living spaces, student study lounges, and support spaces integrated onto each residential floor facilitate social, intellectual, physical, and emotional health and wellness. A new two-story dining commons with indoor and outdoor seating offers healthy, diverse, and sustainable options while taking advantage of the pleasant Northern Californian climate.

Designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the project reflects an understanding of student culture, market preferences, and affordability.

Offering amenities such as a fitness center, meeting spaces, and a large elevated terrace inviting a spectrum of social gatherings from intimate to lively, Bancroft-Fulton Housing demonstrates that high-density living and economic accessibility need not compromise quality or community integration.

Nestled at the edge of campus against downtown Berkeley, once completed the high-rise project will be the tallest occupied structure on campus.

MIT engaged KieranTimberlake in 2019 to conduct a long-term west campus study after the institution’s commitment to add 950 beds to campus. As a partner in both the plan’s development and implementation, KieranTimberlake’s LEED Platinum Graduate Junction is the first built project to emerge from this generative study. The new residence thoughtfully extends west campus, strengthening the area’s legacy of being a desirable place to live, play, perform, worship, compete, and hang out.

Encompassing two neighboring buildings that frame a large publicly-accessible central plaza and green space, the new residence creates a new gateway to the Fort Washington Historic District and Park.

A highly transparent ground floor showcases student life and creates an active street presence.

The 900-foot street frontage leverages Cambridge’s ambitious sidewalk standards to prioritize the pedestrian experience—while inside, ground floor lounges serve as living rooms, supporting both small group study and informal recreational gatherings throughout the day. Transitioning to a facade of variegated brick and metal with symmetrical punched windows on upper residential floors, natural light is welcomed into each unit.

Capping the building, outdoor roof terraces and meadows offer intimate socialization space with views of campus.

Together with ACC, the project was delivered on time and on budget with 97% first-year occupancy.

Faculty apartments

New York University’s campus, centered around Manhattan’s Washington Square Park, is dispersed across numerous buildings—each operating with less space than peer institutions. To address this, NYU commissioned the John A. Paulson Center: a 735,000-square-foot building on the campus’s southern edge designed to consolidate and strengthen the University’s academic and residential community in a single, unified structure.

The building provides housing for both first-year students and faculty, organized into distinct residential “neighborhoods” that connect directly to an expansive, skylit commons—a generous shared space designed for collaborative study, informal gathering, and everyday social life. A reversal of conventional building organization that places circulation along its transparent perimeter and instructional spaces towards the center provides inhabitants one-of-a-kind city views. Green roofs and outdoor terraces extend this communal life beyond the building’s interior, offering residents elevated outdoor spaces that function as a kind of campus quad.

Classrooms, performing arts theaters, rehearsal rooms, and athletic facilities round out the building’s broad program. Together, these uses are woven into a single LEED Gold-certified structure that embodies the University’s creative and academic excellence while strengthening its presence in the heart of New York.

The University of Washington’s Seattle campus had long struggled with an underutilized northern edge—a previously isolated, dramatically sloped, and heavily forested site that left a significant portion of campus disconnected from its core. To address a growing need for student housing and to bring life to this underserved area, the University commissioned KieranTimberlake to develop a new residential neighborhood capable of housing upwards of 2,000 students within a cohesive, communitycentered environment. At the heart of the project is a commitment to fostering genuine connection among students.

The neighborhood extends a historic campus fabric by weaving together four buildings on a previously isolated part of campus. These four buildings are organized in a pinwheel formation around a central Town Square, creating a shared outdoor hub that anchors the neighborhood’s social life. Inside, stacked floor lounges—expressed as “lanterns” on the building facades—serve as living rooms for each residential community. A 300-person conference and event space, student lounges, a learning resource and tutoring center, classrooms, dining facilities, and an intramural field support the full breadth of student life.

The LEED Gold-certified complex is clad in western red cedar rainscreens that complement the surrounding Pacific Northwest landscape, grounding the new neighborhood firmly within the character and natural richness of its campus setting.

The district was designed to hold its own identity while integrating into the larger campus community, taking the shape of a pinwheel with its axis aligned to the central campus grid.

The Tidelands University of California, San Francisco

4 1

The Tidelands addresses one of San Francisco’s most pressing challenges: the lack of affordable housing for the city’s emerging medical workforce. Located in the formerly industrial and rapidly evolving Dogpatch neighborhood, the complex provides 595 belowmarket-rate micro-apartments for over 700 University of California San Francisco medical students and trainees. Comprising studio, efficiency, and twobedroom units priced 40% below market rate, the project directly reduces the housing burden on fixed-income professionals who are critical to the city’s healthcare system. The Tidelands improves access to affordable housing while contributing new green spaces and amenities to the broader neighborhood, encouraging outdoor gathering.

Balancing affordability with design quality was a driving force behind every decision on the project.

The need to manage cost without compromising performance led to creative problem-solving throughout—prioritizing passive strategies over active systems, selecting healthy yet affordable building materials, and leveraging a hybrid Integrated Project Delivery model to streamline collaboration between designers, contractors, the owner, and neighbors.

The result is an all-electric, LEED Gold complex that reduces the housing burden on the surrounding community while offering residents a sustainable, humane, and well-designed home. The Tidelands demonstrates that high design aspirations and genuine affordability are not mutually exclusive goals.

When the University of California, Santa Barbara, purchased property approximately a mile from the core campus, they had a clear vision for its transformation. The former business park needed to incorporate low- and high-density student and faculty housing, a convenience store, and dining and student life facilities into an integrated complex that connects students to each other and the main campus.

The LEED Platinum Portola Dining Commons is the geographic and programmatic center of the complex, dubbed the San Joaquin Villages.

Located at the front edge of the site, the Commons is the threshold for the Villages. The building attracts visitors while also engaging the public road, transit networks, and campus bike paths as well as Santa Barbara’s mountain and ocean scenery.

Rather than compete with the dramatic landscape and bustling activity, the Commons is a “big, beautiful room” whose tall ceilings and full-height windows let the Santa Ynez Mountains and coastal landscape define the building. While students certainly come to eat, they also come to gather and socialize in a place that feels like the hearth of a home. Openness and flexibility satisfies students’ preference for variety and allows them to define their own social environment in a sustainable and timeless building that is precisely suited to Santa Barbara’s unique culture and climate.

The University of California, San Diego was developed in the 1960s through a master planning process that continues to inform its development.

The university’s first undergraduate college, named in honor of environmental scientist Roger Revelle, was sited at a remove from the university, resulting in reduced participation in campus life.

Revitalizing Revelle College, the new LEED Platinum Keeling Apartments keep this naming tradition— memorializing Charles David Keeling who first publicized the theory of global warming—but bring the living-and-learning experience within reach of students.

Standing among the eucalyptus trees on the southwestern edge of campus, the higher-density Keeling complex is composed of three buildings arranged in a C-shape around a courtyard that creates a new social zone, unites the complex with existing housing to the east, and provides expansive views of both the ocean and the coastal cliffs of La Jolla from all interior and exterior spaces. The buildings adopt elements from classic campus buildings but are firmly rooted in a twenty-first century aesthetic. Cast-in-place white concrete visually ties them to the existing 1960s architecture.

Exterior spaces, including single-loaded walkways and a large roof terrace, encourage student gatherings and chance encounters. Seamless integration with the College, both aesthetically and programmatically, offers each student a distinctive, human-scaled home within a large research institution.

West Campus Residential Initiative Cornell University

57

The West Campus Residential Initiative at Cornell University aims to create immersive living-learning environments by integrating residential life with academic experiences. Part of a phased overall master plan for West Campus, the initiative replaces six 1950s dormitories with five new residence halls fully accessible by a pedestrian circulation network, courtyards, and one-story glass-walled pavilions with vegetated roofs. These pavilions include communal dining, seminar rooms, and faculty offices, creating spaces that encourage closer interaction between students and faculty.

Workshops with the client revealed a strong desire for accessibility, community, and robust identity for the West Campus, and helped ensure the design harmonized with the Collegiate Gothic campus architecture. The six-year construction project was phased to allow some buildings to be occupied while others were completed, balancing programmatic and occupancy needs. The Alice H. Cook House—the first residence to emerge from this comprehensive effort in 2004—was awarded LEED Certification, marking Cornell University’s first project to receive such recognition.

To prevent the houses from walling off the new campus from the adjacent neighborhood, the design is conceived as an alluvial flow. The sinuous forms of the residence halls achieve maximum through-views to the west by cranking, bending, and shifting across the site in relationship to the existing architecture.

Built in the 1920s and ‘30s, Harvard’s neo-Georgian River Houses—a constellation of dormitories banking the Charles River—established a new standard for residential liberal arts education in the United States, expanding the learning environment beyond classrooms by making dorm life itself a core facet of the college experience.

Each House developed its own distinct identity and culture, functioning as a nested community within the larger campus. Nearly a century later, 98% of Harvard undergraduates still call one of the twelve Houses home, but most of the buildings had remained essentially unchanged since their original construction.

KieranTimberlake piloted the renewal program, completing four projects and set precedents for energy use, accessibility, and design across the broader initiative. Construction is currently underway on Eliot House, to be complete in Summer 2028.

Historic rooms were carefully dismantled to conceal new building systems, then meticulously restored while other spaces were modernized. Most significantly, the renewal achieved unprecedented full accessibility throughout, with unobtrusive slopes and revamped circulation woven seamlessly into historic interiors—earning LEED Platinum and Gold certifications. By opening up entryways, redesigning common spaces, and making new connections between houses, the upgrades foster a fully inclusive student body.

Yale’s residential colleges, built between 1890–1965, established the American model of immersive undergraduate life, with each college community nested within the larger university. Spanning Gothic revival, neoclassical, Georgian, and Eero Saarinen’s late-modern idioms, the colleges went largely unchanged for decades, even as student life quietly transformed around them—basements informally annexed into game rooms, dining halls outpaced by self-service, single rooms ill-suited to contemporary social patterns.

KieranTimberlake completed renovations and reimaginings of four colleges—Silliman, Berkeley, Pierson and Davenport, and the paired Morse and Stiles. Historic rooms were carefully repaired or rebuilt, with nearly 1,600 original steel windows at Berkeley replaced by custom pressure-equalized units that preserve leaded glass behind 21st century performance.

Neglected basements became theaters, cafés, fitness centers, libraries, recording studios, and multi-purpose halls linked by sunlit passages, while student rooms were reconfigured into flexible suites and dining halls with new serveries. At Morse and Stiles, a 25,000 SF below-grade addition between the Saarinen colleges supplies the social spaces the original design lacked.

Throughout, the work pursues a deliberate dialogue between old and new: steel, glass, and concrete set against restored brick, marble, and wood. Rather than an artifact, architecture is an intergenerational event with a living relationship to the past.

Morse and Ezra Stiles Colleges were among the final works designed by Yale alumnus Eero Saarinen. Intervention was surgical, fusing existing structures and landscapes with new subterranean additions in a dialogue of material respect between old form and new purpose.

78

Prior to the renovation of Morse and Stiles, students had long requested transfers out, describing the single rooms as isolating.

Multi-person suites with a shared dining hall between the two colleges restored the rich social fabric of undergraduate life that students had been asking for.
