Miami University Maple Street Station

HEAPY provided MEP design, technology design, LEED program management, and commissioning services for the residence hall and dining facility on Miami University’s main campus. The design for this new 2.5-story building complements the existing Collegiate Georgian style of the campus with its brick facade, pitched roof, and double-hung windows. The intimate scale and massing strategy create a visual impression of a series of small inter-connected buildings that respond to the existing campus architecture.

The dining portion of the project includes seven distinct venues with individual entries on the ground floor along Maple Street.  The eateries feature unique dining options from diverse geographic and regional cuisines. The project includes patios with outdoor seating at the front, dining support and back-of-house spaces, shared prep kitchens, storage, a service and loading dock, and an outdoor seating area for 100 students at the back of the building facing Bard Field.

The residence hall occupies the 2nd floor and offers 90 single and double rooms in an open suite style arrangement. Key design elements include a dedicated entry and identity at the front and back of the building, a lounge/lobby space, group study areas, laundry, and kitchenettes for each housing pod. Each suite has a living room, group study, and centrally located restroom facilities. An RA apartment and social spaces are located on the 3rd floor.
