Dimeo Construction

Soundview Residence Hall, recently designated LEED Gold, reflects the university's commitment to sustainability and combines modern amenities with environmental awareness. Energy-efficient lighting, recycling rooms and a first floor exclusively devoted to sustainable living are just the beginning of the many green elements incorporated into the design. Features that are designed to reduce environmental impact also contribute significantly to student health and comfort; each suite is equipped with a variable refrigeration volume (VRV) fan coil unit with an adjustable thermostat, and operable windows to ensure individual thermal comfort, all corridors and common areas are equipped with daylight and motion sensors to prevent energy waste due to lighting, and 96% of regularly occupied spaces have outside views, providing sufficient natural lighting.
