The New Palmer, Pittenger and Roberts Hall is a new suite-style residential community at Swarthmore College. The project creates a Residential Village at the crossroads of the academic campus, the athletics facilities, and downtown Swarthmore. This building adds 128 beds of apartment style housing on a highly constrained site between three 19th Century Dorms and the left field fence of the Clothier Baseball Field. The design solution reconfigured the outfield fence as part of the building and features a landscaped second level terrace that overlooks the field. The new building doubles the student population housed in the three adjacent dorms. To preserve the intimate scale of the existing context, the new dorm is broken into three separate massings--each similar in scale to its nearest adjacent dorm. The space between the new and old buildings creates an outdoor commons that becomes the center of this 240 student residential community.
