Services - Design

Campus Living Centres has, over the past 18 years, pioneered a number of innovative, cost-effective solutions for the design of student residence and conference facilities. During this time, CLC has evolved a model and management system with input from students, faculty, event planners, staff and hotel professionals. Using our own experience, as well as data and conclusions from numerous surveys, the following criteria has been identified as important to students:

Privacy
A space for both a small and/or medium get together (social and/or group study)
Restrictions on room size and housing/food policies
Control over heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
Easy access to phone/data system

The result of this evolution is a model similar in many ways to an 'all suite' hotel, or a small apartment - including 2 private bedrooms with double beds, a bathroom, and a kitchenette with full size refrigerator. Units feature individual heating and air-conditioning controls, and a design that renders noise between suites negligible. Combined with a system of management that stresses security and customer (including student) satisfaction, this model has consistently resulted in significantly lower maintenance costs, significantly higher student demand, and an overall increase in year-round revenues. The design, with its upscale amenities, also lends itself perfectly to the ever-growing summer seminar and conference business.
