2 Barton Education has provided MEP design services for numerous student housing facilities. We understand the design challenges of the MEP systems for student housing facilities and specifically consider the following: - Centralized vs Decentralized HVAC Systems - Building Automation and Temperature Control Systems - Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems - Multi-floor Systems - Sustainability

3 Student Housing facilities are an integral part of an institutions overall strategic master plan. They play a critical role in the ability to attract, assimilate, retain, support and develop students throughout their academic careers. While they must be flexible to meet the changing needs and desires of students, they also offer unique opportunities to physically embody a school s mission. Barton Education understands the social, academic and financial impact of these facilities. We work with our clients to develop facilities that fit within the contextual fabric of the institution while meeting programmatic, operational and performance goals. Barton Education provides a team that is dedicated and focused to the specific drivers that shape today s Student Housing facilities. They must serve multiple functions while meeting the needs of a varied constituency. We understand how different types of housing options reinforce the development of students as well as the multiple funding/ ownership options. We also understand the unique needs of these facilities which create opportunities for energy efficient design, alternative energy systems and sustainable design practices especially when viewed with the larger campus in mind. From concept to final occupancy, our dedicated team of engineers works diligently to understand the needs and role of each project stakeholder and strives to deliver a customized approach that strikes the right balance. Whether you are repurposing and renovating existing housing stock or developing a new multi-building complex, a thorough understanding of the many variables that make these facilities successful from multiple perspectives is critical. Understanding the changing needs and desires of prospective and existing students, administrators, educators and facilities staff as well as funding streams all play a role in the decision making process. You can be confident that Barton Education has the experience to focus on the right details at the right time to provide the right solution to meet your needs.
