University of Minnesota Housing
Project: Hall Renovation
The 4th Street Residence Hall is meant to provide housing and dining for university students. The Hall merges typical student living and dining with urban agriculture to support local food production and campus culture.
In order to meet the 1st-year student housing demand; reduce the number of “expanded” housing spaces currently utilized; and increase the number of transfer students offered on-campus housing, an additional 600 beds was necessary.
