新大学房屋是宾夕法尼亚大学校园的第一座“专用”大学房屋，也是其40多年来的第一座新的学生住宅大楼。The seven-story student and faculty residence hall includes public amenities for social and dining activities.
这座198,000平方英尺的建筑包括卧室套房，可容纳两到六个学生。它还包括为居民顾问和研究生助理的单卧室套房以及四个教师公寓。
一个新隧道内部访问提供了部分basement from a new loading dock in an expanded service court that is shared with the existing Hill College House. Tunnel construction posed one of the most significant project challenges because it runs under the 125 Years of Women at Penn walkway. Crews had to limit disturbance to this important art installation, which features granite benches and curbs inscribed with quotations from women at the university. The tunnel was strong enough to allow construction traffic to travel over it. Sheeting and shoring were designed to limit the excavation needed to construct the tunnel, which in turn limited how much of the walkway had to be removed.
The foundation system on the west side of the building was originally designed to be caissons with spread footings and wall footings on top. Early in the excavation, the team determined that existing soil conditions would not yield the required bearing strength. Working in sequence with construction to avoid delays, the team successfully redesigned the foundation systems to grade beams bearing on caissons.
A custom-built wood grille system at the main elevator lobby was composed of angles and slopes and hung entirely from the underside of a pass-through stair. To ensure that the completed system was installed to the design team’s standards, team members worked with the fabricator to map out the entire structure in the field, using cables and string lines to identify the precise angles and dimensions for each prefabricated piece.
设计团队创建了一个“提起的草坪”，该草坪建立了一个新的公共绿色空间，以取代旧的山坡。抬起的草坪从宾夕法尼亚州人行道现有的125年妇女中扫到了建筑物的南侧，创造了一个绿色的景观空间。新大学房屋的餐饮设施位于草坪的一部分下方，创建了坡度。通过建立草坪区域，设计团队能够建立从附近街道的南侧到草坪区域顶部的连接，然后再回到主要入口。
