TenBerke, alongside Mahlum Architects, has designed an all-electric, 230,000-square-foot residence hall and wellness center at the University of Washington. Called Haggett Hall, the facility stands nine stories and will house 800 students. The project finalizes a critical component of the University’s decade-long initiative to develop its North Campus and support more students living on campus.
