				Duncan Avenue Apartments offers students a unique on-campus living experience. Located between the campus and downtown neighborhoods, Duncan Avenue Apartments is a pedestrian friendly, urban community that provides both density and open space. The apartment design features a unit type reminiscent of a brownstone or urban townhouse. Each four-bedroom apartment has its own exterior entrance and unimpeded views of the wooded site. The design preserves over 75 percent of the existing trees by eliminating on-site parking, making use of the Harmon Avenue Garage and streetside parking instead. A natural streambed runs through the site. The project will be ready for occupancy fall semester 2008. Sustainable features include: LED light fixtures High efficiency HVAC units Water efficient plumbing fixtures Energy Star appliances Shading devices Native and drought resistant plantings Direct link to city trails system Green Globes Level 1 > more about Duncan Ave Apartments > more projects
