Harvard graduate students have new housing that has green features inside. With building systems, the design team focused on energy efficiency. Green features include siding with recycled content, renewable bamboo flooring and wall paneling, and low-VOC finishes.
Located on the scenic Charles River, the complex boasts 215 beds, over 30 different suites, a faculty director’s suite, a fitness room, study lounge spaces, a multipurpose room, new public space, and a garage tucked away under the facility. It is one of several new residences underway or recently completed on the campus.
The new housing acts as a gateway to both the southern edge of Harvard’s Cambridge campus and to Harvard’s new developing initiatives in Allston across the Western Avenue Bridge.
Designed by landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, a seasonal garden with trees and native plantings offers a meditative retreat from studying. Clad in brick with wood siding, the complex has bay windows projected for shadow and shade and a large outdoor deck strategically placed to soak in views of the river and the cityscape.
