Project Description

Victor E. Village is one major component of a significant ($30M +) student housing project involving multiple contractors, and a complex set of construction sequencing activities ultimately replacing FHSU's Wiest Hall. Victor E. Village contains multiple learning communities totaling approximately 400 students. The site improvements associated with the facility includes parking for approximately 370 cars, motorcycle and bicycle parking, outdoor plaza, pedestrian circulation, site utilities, landscaping, irrigation, and other incidental improvements. The design also included renovating and expanding the existing McMindes Dining Center.

Schwab Eaton had a significant role in the design team by performing extensive coordination with other teams designing adjacent housing-related components, and by addressing critical regulatory permitting issues, providing full site/civil/landscape architectural design services. The other components outside Victor E. Village primary included Tiger Village, Dane E. Hansen Scholarship House, and the Student Life Maintenance Center.
