Are you working on a fantastic residence hall project? Want to tell us about it?


March 16, 2011

The feature story for the May 2011 issue of Building Design+Construction will focus on new trends in university residence hall design and construction, and we’re looking for great projects to report on and experts to interview.

Projects can involve new construction or remodeling/reconstruction work, and can be recently completed, currently under construction, or still on the boards.

If you think your project is a great fit for this story and you want to see it covered by BD+C, send a brief project description and photo/rendering to Robert Cassidy, Editorial Director, rcassidy@sgcmail.com.
