芝加哥大学在开发其新的校园北部住宅公共项目项目时，通过使用设计建造方法与传统的设计竞标方法相比，通过使用设计建造方法来完成和开放设施的机会。该项目标志着该大学的首个主要设计建设工作，并于2016年9月开业。
Designed by Studio Gang Architects, the housing complex allows students of all academic years to live and work together with the goals of elevating social and academic success. The 400,000-sq-ft residence hall is spread among four separate but interconnected buildings, ranging from one to 15 stories. The buildings are interconnected by plazas, gardens, walkways and courtyards.
The 15-story, 11 story and five-story buildings contain a combined eight “houses,” accommodating a total of 800 undergraduate students. Each house includes a three-story common area—called a hub—where students can gather, study and relax. The top floor reading room offers panoramic views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan.
单层用餐中心俯瞰着中央四边形。还提供了校园和学生生活的办公室，教室，音乐练习室，户外绿色空间以及10,000平方英尺的地面零售空间。
Mortenson Construction高级项目经理Carl Kreiter说，由于大型设计建设是大学的新过程，因此该团队专注于精心创建和遵循详细的时间表，事实证明这是该项目最苛刻的方面。结构，外壳和MEP系统已纳入建筑信息模型，使团队能够包括时间表并创建4D模型。
“Using that as a communication tool to our subcontractors and university stakeholders was extremely valuable, especially on a site that included separate building that are all interconnected,” he says.
The team also created a two-story mock-up, which aided the entire project team in design evaluation and constructibility. Some precast detailing was modified, waterproofing details were incorporated at the foundation transition and a method of prefabricating radiant tubing was developed.
