University of Rochester River Campus Student Housing
University of Rochester – Rochester, NY
Student Living
O’Brien Hall sits prominently on the University’s River Campus overlooking the Genesee River. The new residence hall design was intended to blend seamlessly with neighboring residential and academic buildings. It also creates a welcoming outdoor commons that encourages student interaction and campus activities.
A Multipurpose Building
The residence hall’s ground floor includes administrative offices and multi-purpose spaces for campus-wide use, such as conference rooms, performing arts areas, and music rehearsal facilities. Additionally, upper floors offer modern student housing, with a mix of single rooms, doubles, and suites arranged around a central lounge and study room on each floor to foster community and collaboration.
LEED Gold Certified
The O’Brien Residence Hall Design achieved LEED® Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) by incorporating numerous sustainable design strategies. Key features include abundant natural daylight, vegetative roofing, and low-emitting interior finishes. In addition, it includes individually controlled lighting, heating, and cooling systems, supporting student wellness and energy efficiency.
