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
