Scope Of Work

Spring Hall opened in 2016 and was Saint Louis University’s first new residence hall in 20 years. The 153,426-square-foot, eight-story residence hall was designed to house 454 freshmen and sophomore students. Spring Hall features single- and double suite-style rooms along with classrooms, a conference room, study rooms, floor lounges, a chapel, a "living room" with kitchen, a large meeting space and a small outdoor amphitheater. The design concept leveraged previously developed land, minimizing ecological degradation while optimizing land and community value. In addition, the position of the building maximizes sun exposure for daylight harvesting. The project utilizes at least 20 percent recycled and 20 percent regional materials.
