University of Kansas, Krehbiel Scholarship Hall (residence halls/lounges)
Lawrence, Kansas
Opened in fall 2008, the 16,500-square-foot Krehbiel Scholarship Hall was designed to blend seamlessly into a historic neighborhood that surrounds the University of Kansas.
Krehbiel Hall houses 50 men, a director, president and proctor. As part of the scholarship hall experience, all students are required to help prepare meals in the full-service kitchen on site. The living room, which is adjacent to the main entrance, was designed with the elements of a private residence—integrating a fireplace with stone hearth, natural light and plentiful seating for residents and visitors.
Artifacts from a previously razed building on the university campus have been incorporated into the design. Ironwork railing was used on the hall’s exterior, and recovered spindles and a pendant light fixture adorn the primary stair.
Krehbiel Hall incorporates many LEED design principles, including a geothermal mechanical system that uses the Earth’s relatively constant temperature to provide heating and cooling for the building. Daylight was maximized throughout all private and public spaces.
