Campus Architecture Database: 10-12 Studio Road Student Residence Halls

Lasell College, Newton, Mass.

Building Type: Residential

Cost: $12.3-million

Square Footage: 29,890

Architect: Steffian Bradley Architects

Contractor: Metric Construction Corporation

Opened: 2009

Along with existing residence halls, the two new three-story buildings create a quad anchoring the northeast corner of the campus. The project created 65 double-occupancy dorm rooms, a suite for a residence director, and five single rooms for resident advisers. To maximize green space, an underground parking garage for 70 cars was constructed with a green roof to create the landscaped quad. The project was designed to meet LEED-silver guidelines. The project also involved opening a 1,350-square-foot boiler plant.
