This project consisted of a 186-bed facility, designed and constructed within an approximate time frame of 20 months. The 3-story residence hall project at Rider University consisted of a combination of ADA-compliant suites and apartments in which most of the rooms allowed for individual student bedrooms.

The apartments contain a kitchen, dining area, living room, closet with a stackable washer and dryer, and four individual bedrooms (singles). The suites include a large living room, stackable washer and dryers, and four individual bedrooms (singles); located next to a communal kitchen area adjacent to a large lounge space. Both the apartments and suites have separate toilet rooms, shower rooms, and double vanity areas in configurations that allowed all four students to get ready for classes at one time.

The existing Ziegler and Hill Hall renovations consisted of converting lounge space to student rooms, upgrading flooring and finishes in all common areas, lighting upgrades, roofing modifications that included adding pitched roofs and the introduction of new lounge space to accommodate gaming/television, a quiet study lounge and a group lounge with kitchen.

Façade modifications entailed matching of brick at infill areas, adding stucco and a pitched shingle roof. The attractive and sensible design aesthetic established in this project set the standard for future construction and renovation projects on campus.
