Crescent Street Townhouses
The Crescent Street Townhouses are student apartment-style housing located along Crescent Street in the southern end of campus. Along with Stowe and Clemens Halls, the townhouses comprise the “Crescent Street Neighborhood.”
The project, first proposed in January 2013, cost $25 million. The construction of the townhouses was seen by some people as a positive step to improve the southern end of campus and provide new housing and student foot traffic on Crescent Street, which had been viewed as an area that contained empty lots and older buildings in need of repair. The townhouses, developed by Kirchoff Campus Properties from Pleasant Valley, New York, opened in two phases in 2013 and 2014.
The apartment suites house seniors, juniors and sophomores, accommodating up to nine students per unit. Each suite has a kitchen, laundry room, living room, and bedroom. The townhouses meet energy and climate friendly efficiency LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, standards.
