In addition to 378 beds the site includes a grand entry courtyard “the Commons” and a “Kitchen Garden and Patio”. Each floor of the five-story structure includes study rooms, communal lounge/kitchen and living rooms. Other amenity spaces include a first-floor game room / social lounge / multi-purpose room that opens to the Commons as well as the Kitchen Garden and Patio.
