The Union
Corvallis, OR
2013
The Union is an off campus apartment complex serving the students of Oregon State University.
Overview
Idea
Create a model for off-campus housing development in response to Corvallis’ growing need for student housing. The project was a partnership with Samaritan Hospital to revitalize their former hospital site.
Implementation
The 4-story contemporary building is informed by the vernacular architecture of the College Hill neighborhood, showcasing landscaped ground floor courtyards, an elevated garden roof on the second floor, and a promenade that connects public and private open spaces.
Results
The building features 68 one-, two-, and four-bedroom apartments with covered parking and amenities, including a resident lounge, study lounge, sun deck, and bocce courts. A commemorative art piece celebrates those who were born at or employed by the Corvallis General Hospital, previously located on the site.
