Centennial Village

University of Miami | Coral Gables, Florida

Located on Lake Osceola at the heart of the University of Miami’s campus, Centennial Village replaces four existing high-rise buildings with 550,000 square feet of new residence halls and a 40,000-square-foot dining facility. One of the primary goals of this project is to create a strong sense of community among the residence village, which will house most of the university’s freshman class.

The building design places significant focus on occupant health and wellness. Chilled beams are used for heating and cooling with a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS), heat recovery chillers for domestic hot water generation, and HLR air scrubbers for higher indoor air quality. Modeling was carried out to optimize daylight access and to determine areas of the building that should be provided with active circadian lighting systems to support healthy sleep cycles.
