Suites with scenic city views and just steps from the library, university center, basketball arena and recreation center await students in the West Campus Housing of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Niles Bolton Associates served as design and development architects for the freshman housing project. Situated in the heart of campus on the corner of Vine and Houston streets, the residence hall is an opportunity to better connect the university to downtown Chattanooga.

The buildings, enhanced with stainless-steel panels and walls of windows, accommodate 600 beds in 171 one- and two-bedroom suites. Two levels of underground parking ensure efficient use of the parcel to maximize housing units. The complex also has ground-level lounges, multipurpose rooms, and retail and food outlets, and the upper levels have a large common area on each floor. The project was completed on time to accommodate incoming students for the fall 2018 semester.
