Western Connecticut State University Dormitory
Danbury, CT
DTC was retained to provide civil engineering design services for the construction of a new dormitory project. The project was a design/build project with Stone Building Company and Herb S. Newman & Partners, P.C. This 425-bed apartment-style residence hall accommodates five students per suite (usually reserved for upper-class students). Each unit contains three furnished bedrooms, two bathrooms, a furnished living and dining area, and a full-sized kitchen. Each apartment also has a balcony.
In addition, there are two-story floor lounges spaced intermittently throughout the building, laundry facilities, and a conference/meeting room, which can be reserved for special occasions. These apartments are cable ready, and have phone service provided. The design elements included a 280-car parking lot with associated storm drainage improvements and an on-site stormwater detention system to prevent downstream flooding impacts. Other utility work included domestic water service, fire protection, electrical distribution and sanitary sewers. The unique site required the use of 1.5:1 rip-rap slopes (approximately 30º angle) to allow the site development.
