TenBerke has announced a new dormitory project for the University of Washington in Seattle co-led with local mainstays Mahlum Architects, a leader in green building design.

The scope of the new Haggett Hall project encompasses a 200,000-square-foot residential hall with 800 beds and a fitness center located in the North Campus neighborhood of UW, which is currently undergoing a housing-focused transformation. 

The firm’s first-ever West Coast project will incorporate its surroundings on an acre-and-a-half site on the periphery of campus and a woodland area. The project will be delivered using an “integrated design-build process” with Anderson Construction as its lead contractor and using the findings of a student engagement process that began in May. 

“One of the most exciting things about this project is how it will greatly enhance North Campus’s relationship to its stunning surrounding landscape,” her colleague and Senior Principal Maitland Jones added. “In our work, we look to each project’s distinct sense of place to inform its social, architectural, and ecological character. This site’s dramatic topography will encourage a sustainable and perhaps more naturefocused response that will not only activate a new campus viewshed to Lake Washington and beyond, but also create new social and architectural opportunities to reinforce the project’s focus on well-being.”

Construction is expected to be completed sometime in 2027.
