Towson University Millennium Hall
Towson, Maryland
Construction Cost: $14.5M
Completion Date: 2000
PGAL, in a Design/Build/Development/Finance team led by Capstone Development, designed this new 5-story, 150,000 square foot residence hall. The 408 bed facility features two suite designs, one "typical", the other an "inside corner" which allow a long building to compress onto a site tightened by a number of existing constraints. Suite designs encompass four bedrooms, two baths, common study/living quarters and full kitchen. Each floor also includes a central lounge and two smaller study lounges for student interaction. Architecturally, the exterior is reminiscent of an urban "brownstone" with bay windows at each common area and chimney-like forms completing each gabled end. Brick wraps the full five stories consistent with existing campus architecture. The $14.5 million project was completed August 2000.
