Just In Spotlight University of Arkansas (Fayetteville, Arkansas) Name: Duncan Avenue Apartments Opens: Fall 2008 Cost: $16 million Architect: Little Architects and Allison Architects It may be difficult to tell where the university campus ends and the neighboring community begins, but the rows of brightly colored apartments reminiscent of urban townhomes have been strategically designed to bridge the gap between on- and off-campus housing. The new Duncan Avenue Apartments offer students a unique housing experience by bringing the privacy and independence of off-campus living on campus. A total of 200 students will inhabit the pedestrian-friendly apartment community in fully furnished four-bedroom apartments. The three-story units consist of two interlocking apartments, and each apartment is either the first and second level or the second and third level, explains Randy Alexander, executive director of housing: “The ground level has a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The upstairs has two more bedrooms and a bathroom.” Other apartment amenities include a washer and dryer in each unit, balconies, bicycle storage, and, as Alexander notes, the kind of details that make a difference: “There are also nice furnishings in it. There’s trim detail, solid-surface countertops, all Energy Star-rated appliances, and nice leather furniture.” A 24-hour community center, complete with a fireplace and a recreation center, is also available to students living in the Duncan Avenue Apartments. The university is using Green Globes, a green management tool that, according to the Green Building Initiatives’ (GBI) Web site, includes an “assessment protocol, rating system, and guidance for green building design.” Once a project using Green Globes is complete, GBI makes sure that all the information about the project’s rating is submitted to a third party for verification. Alexander explains that Green Globes “is like LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] but was developed in Canada and uses lumber as [its] main resource. It just puts in items that eventually save us money down the road. We’re the first university in Arkansas to have Green Globes, and I think the first in the nation.” Talking Stick Calle Hume ©
