In response to increased enrollment and a desire to foster a close-knit community, Ringling College of Art and Design wanted to add on-campus housing capacity. After completing Ringling’s campus master plan, Ayers Saint Gross designed a contemporary residence hall with apartment-style units for upperclass students. Siting was crucial to its success, and the result is a beautiful and functional connection between the urban edge of campus and the adjacent Whitaker Bayou. The location links the new residence hall to the rest of campus via an arts walk, a key element of the master plan. The project introduces new urbanism principles to campus with a well-defined street edge and activates a previously underutilized area.
