Residence Tower
Towson University • Towson, Maryland
A Comprehensive Renovation of a 444-Bed Residence
The renovation of the 14-story Residence Tower, a signature building on the campus of Towson University, involved major upgrades to both the interior and exterior of the circa-1972 structure. Optimizing energy efficiency and student comfort within the 102,000-square-foot, LEED® Gold building was a primary objective, involving the incorporation of several sustainable measures.
The tower houses 444 students in a quad-style residential setting, with four quads per floor. The two lower levels were transformed into community space, with a large kitchen, game room, laundry area, study lounges, a conference room, and other common areas. The upper floors were fully renovated with new bathrooms and room layouts, enclosed study spaces, and open community lounges on every floor.
