The Alfred State College student housing program provides students with a unique option for affordable housing which hasn’t been offered before, and will recruit students to live on campus. The design concept behind the 150-bed townhouse complex is to create a “Main Street” concept along the campus road. The townhouses at Alfred State College create an architectural connection to the historical village. The design style maintains the traditional architecture of the village, while focusing on the technological aspect of the campus. Each of the buildings meet the LEED’s Green Building requirements as well as provide students with the latest technology, and enhanced amenities in an independent living environment. The townhouse project is LEED Certifiable through the U.S. Green Building Council. From the start of design concept through the end of construction, the project will be documented to maintain the LEED Certified credit level.
