Description
What are the features of environmentally sustainable student housing? How might
these features be reflected in the design of a new residence hall on FAU’s Jupiter
Campus? As enrollment in the Wilkes Honors College expands, the necessity for more
housing also grows. This new need brings the opportunity to construct a residence hall
according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards,
focusing on reducing environmental harm caused by new infrastructure. Toward this end,
I investigate best practices of sustainable residence hall design, considering features of
existing LEED buildings on the Boca Raton campus and those at other colleges and
universities nationwide. I compile a comprehensive list of design features that have been
implemented as well as a list of the types of materials and practices that should be
considered in designing the future Honors College residence hall and consider additional
sustainable practices to incorporate on the Jupiter Campus.
