Supporting COCC’s master plan and the demand for updated student housing on campus, Pinnacle partnered with Mahlum Architects to create a residential “hub” to improve the student experience. The design is a suite-style approach providing every four students with a communal living room and bathroom adjoined to double or single bedrooms.

With an overall goal of recruitment and retention, the design focuses on creating community on each floor. Each color-coded level includes study rooms and lounge. Other community space consists of a sitting lounge with large flat-screen TV and fireplace, kitchen, and additional game/lounge space.

“The new facility allows the College to remain competitive with other colleges and universities.” — Alicia Moore, COCC’s Dean of Student and Enrollment Services
