Apartments for graduate students and their families with a child care center and courtyard play space, opened in phases so no lease ever started late.
Graduate students with families need more than dorm rooms: full kitchens, laundry, quiet study space and safe places for children to play. The university wanted a child care center on site and leases that started on the academic calendar. The site sat beside occupied housing, so noise, deliveries and safety around children had to be managed every day.
The approach.
- 01
Phased turnover
The project was split into phases with separate turnover dates, each matched to a leasing period.
- 02
Child care center first
The child care center was finished early and licensed before the first families moved in.
- 03
A safe site for neighbors
Fenced haul routes, flaggers at crossings and no deliveries at school pickup kept the site safe for children nearby.
- 04
Ready for real families
Every unit was punched and cleaned, and play areas were safety-inspected before they opened.
The outcome.
“Our schedule had one rule: every family moves in on their date, with the playground open.”
Project manager, PerryWester
