Conklin Hall, Dutchess Community College

With an increase in student enrollment and a desire to offer a more traditional college experience, Dutchess Community College built its first student housing complex. The 465-bed residence was constructed using an offsite modular construction method which allowed for minimum disruptions to campus life. The modular construction method is also environmentally friendly, contributes to LEED eligibility, and promotes sustainability.

Constructed of noncombustible materials, the residence hall features spacious suite-style units with assorted bedroom configurations, one to two bathrooms, kitchenette and living room. It also includes lounges on each floor, a multipurpose atrium, fitness center, laundry facilities, and other amenities.

The project also includes a geothermal well that contributes to the heating and cooling of the building in an environmentally friendly manner.
