Green Student Housing Construction
Green and clean
First we designed it to be green; then we built it using clean construction techniques. Campus Common incorporates a variety of high-tech and low-tech features to maximize our building’s efficiency. We employed an expert building envelope consultant to ensure that the building’s skin was constructed to perform to a high standard. It keeps water out and heat in making for a greener, healthier, more comfortable indoor environment.
