ACUHO-I 21st Century Project

Please install Flash® and turn on Javascript.

The 21st Century Project of ACUHO-I is a multi-phased initiative leading to the construction of a new, state-of-the-art residential facility. In addition to creating one or more prototype residential facilities, the project will assist colleges and universities in designing new buildings that reflect
the ever-changing roles residences play in the collegiate experience.

The project is guided by the belief that it is no longer enough for college housing simply to provide students four walls and a bed. Current and future students are demanding more from their residential experience. And administrators have realized that unique, functional, and technologically advanced living experience can attract and retain students.

Innovative solutions in the areas of sustainability, flexibility, community, and technology will make these residence halls of the future a reality. Having hosted previously the 21st Century Project Summit and two design showcase competitions, we are now accepting applications from campuses interested in being home to a prototype 21st Century Project
residence hall.

Congratulations to Colorado College, Indiana University, and Baylor University.

These three campuses have completed mini-summits on their individual campuses to explore the possibility of creating a 21st Century Project residence hall of their own.

Colorado College staff and students discuss plans what a 21st Century Project residence hall would mean for their campus.

As the conversations and plans continue on their campuses, project leaders will report out on their progress via the ACUHO-I blog. Watch this site as well as acuho-i.org for more information as they engage the process.
