University Housing
A solution for critical campus
housing needs
Colleges and universities are experiencing a record number of applications for enrollment. Many campuses are facing housing shortages, not only for undergrads, but for graduate students and faculty. Existing housing is outdated, expensive to operate and maintain, and lacks sustainability systems.
Our approach to building is designed to meet these challenges in several ways:
- Improved Financial Performance: SLI buildings are less expensive to build, operate and maintain than traditional construction. We utilize institutional-grade materials and removing 60% of the field labor virtually eliminates change orders and other construction-related headaches.
- Guaranteed Project Delivery: Our projects are completed 50% faster than conventional construction, and can be completed in time to meet critical enrollment schedule deadlines. We also guarantee project pricing and delivery.
- Higher Quality and More Flexibility: By eliminating waste, SLI offers better design, engineering and interior finishes. The flexible design is suitable for undergrads, graduate students, faculty, staff and even alumni who want to be close to campus.
- “Baked-In” Sustainability: Our innovative design enables us to include a broad array of sustainable components and systems, while our proprietary building methods create less waste and a substantially lower carbon footprint.
The bottom line: SLI housing projects are built to last, similar to on-campus academic buildings. They are safe and secure, yet they provide an open space design that promotes a greater sense of community. Research shows that the higher quality of the living environment, the better the learning experience—SLI projects offer more natural light and fresh air. And a better place to live surely doesn’t hurt in recruitment.
