This residence hall project comprises the third phase of a major campus development for new student housing. The complex consists of three separate buildings, designed to house approximately 500 students in apartment-style units with two different fourbedroom layouts. A fourth building, an academic Living/Learning Center in the heart of the quadrangle, integrates a learning environment with the students living quarters. The learning center houses computer labs, classrooms, study lounges, and faculty offices. The exterior architectural style of each building is in keeping with recent housing projects in the same vicinity of campus and reflects the traditional detailing celebrated on the historic “Horseshoe” of USC. Reflecting a sustainable design initiative, the project boasts a green roof component in the main courtyard and a carefully planned system of filtering surface runoff. With a Silver LEED rating, the West Quad was one of the first LEED certified buildings in South Carolina and the first certified dormitory in the Southeast. The architectural design was a collaborative effort between The Boudreaux Group and Little & Associates Architects of Charlotte, NC.
