Student housing plays a crucial role in shaping the college experience, as it serves as a home away from home for students. The design of student housing facilities can significantly impact the well-being and sense of community among students.

In STEM, health, and medical/dental/veterinary student learning facilities, technology is an integral part of a well-conceived and designed learning environment. 

In most learner-centered health and STEM environments, there is a significant amount of simulation-based learning, as this technology evolves, it can reduce or alter the requirements of learning laboratories - saving funds and square-footage that can then be redistributed.

The right mix of elements can result in a STEM facility that stimulates interdisciplinary learning and discovery– namely research, collaboration and connection to the campus context.

How can these elements be successfully mixed in situations where innovation is key, and the departmental and programmatic demands are complex?
