Student Housing Design – Some Important Thoughts
Think of a time when you’re sitting down, waiting for something, and there are a million thoughts going through your head. The only one that really stands out, however, is just how uncomfortable you are. While a lot of this is chalked up to nerves, it might also be because the chair is uncomfortable, the room is foreign, and the person sitting next to you is unreasonably close to the point of unease.
Students in school have a lot on their mind other than what is being taught, and providing them a comfortable living environment can be immeasurable in terms of keeping them focused. By providing them with comfortable chairs, plenty of room to move around, and a good environment for interacting with others, a college or university can become a place where students find refuge from the stress of study.
Aesthetics are Important
It’s natural to choose function over form when it comes to student housing. After all, you just want a space that will last from student to student. The problem, though, is that much of what you might choose during the layout process of student housing design creates a cold, industrial structure that isn’t going to stop tension, it’s going to create it.
