Lander Hall is a 226,000 square foot mixed-use student housing project that offers 357 dorm units and 643 beds. The first two floors house student service offices, study lounges, laundry, and student dining halls. The project features 3,000 square foot commercial kitchen, demonstration and presentation area in an interactive classroom setting, and a central dining facility. The building makes efficient use of Seattle’s climate to conserve energy that otherwise would have been used for artificial lighting, heating, and cooling, and was built with a high-performance building envelope expected to perform twice as efficiently as the standard. Virtual design (BIM) technology was used to respond faster to the design changes and resolve constructability issues efficiently and effectively.
