Three hundred eighty Skidmore juniors and seniors enjoy life in the real world as residents of Northwoods Village.  Groups of three or four students, each with a private bedroom, share modern apartments equipped with complete kitchens, dining and living space, and bathrooms.  Each of the ten buildings has its own laundry and storage facilities.

Construction is a combination of wood and steel with durable stained concrete floors.  Native hardwoods harvested on the 19 acre site were utilized in interior finishes. MLB’s three-phase approach ensured efficient coordination of trades through successive buildings, and panelized offsite wall sections helped expedite project delivery so that the first three buildings could be turned over early for summer occupancy.

Intelligent value engineering suggestions offered by MLB during the Design Phase brought project cost in line with the College’s budget, and early preparation of mock ups during construction set the standard for high quality requirements throughout this fast-paced project.  Seventy four-hundred foot Geothermal wells and 100 heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling for these handsome, rugged student residences delivered by MLB in just 15 months.
