"This 183-bed residence hall's in-room amenities include window seats and modular, multi-use furniture that allows students to create natural lofts rather than constructing their own. Rooms are also designed to offer as much storage space as possible because, as an administrator says, "students bring more items to college than ever before." " — Chronicle of Higher Education
"The design for Bornhuetter Hall enriches the academic experience of this liberal arts college by providing a balance between private spaces for study and public gathering areas for communal discussion. In order to ensure that each hall fosters a sense of community (25-30 students per hall), the building is made of two separate wings linked by an outdoor courtyard. The courtyard, complete with cantilevered study nooks, is the heart of the building, providing a social center, a place of gathering and a means to pass through the building to the park behind. While producing a contemporary environment for students, the building engages through its material and forms the existing campus architecture." – Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis
