University of Denver Community Commons and Dimond Family Residential Village: Project of the Year Finalist, Best Higher Ed/Research
The University of Denver’s new Dimond Family Residential Village and Community Commons is designed to improve the student experience by providing a space that reimagines community, connection and learning.
The Residential Village sits next to the commons in the heart of the campus. The 250-room building is divided into six different houses that are separated into 21 different pods, each containing more than 20 rooms and a lounge. The hall includes an additional dozen common and study spaces, a village kitchen and an outdoor gathering area that can accommodate the entire first year class of 1,500 students.
