EMORY UNIVERSITY - HAMILTON HOLMES Project Overview
This is the fourth building of Emory’s Freshman Hall master plan and is designed to match the adjacent building. This is a 5 story building with 125 beds. There is a mixture of semi-suites and rooms that share a common bath at the end of the hall. The building matches the adjacent housing buildings, which include; stucco exterior, copper wall panel and granite veneer accents. Part of this construction includes an expansion of the existing elevated deck to enlarge the courtyard area. This expansion area also houses stored rain water for irrigation use.
The adjacent building has a gray water reclaim system, which this new building ties into, allowing all toilets to be flushed with gray water. As a part of the LEED and water efficiency credit, the use of rain water and condensation from the HVAC system is used for irrigation. This water is stored on the elevated green deck, just under the courtyard space.
The project is targeting LEED Silver certification.
