The 14-story, 570 bed project exemplifies the vertical, close to campus and luxuriously amenitized community that Faulkner says is trending. Amenities include fitness center, tanning, pool and hot tub, retail, game room, meeting rooms, outdoor lounge with fire pits and an internet café. Higher density on smaller parcels, without sacrificing amenities, was also the challenge in designing Domain at Tallahassee for Asset Campus Housing. Keith Malone, partner with Meeks + Partners, was part of the team that designed this new community about a block from Florida State University, which will open in fall 2017. "Being as close to campus as you can requires a very unique and efficient design," Malone says. "I think Domain at Tallahassee is emblematic of that. If you look at the plans, it's as efficient as it could possibly be." Malone explains that Domain at Tallahassee is a double-loaded design with a corridor down the center of the building with units on either side, and a majority, approximately 70 percent, of those units being four-bed- room, four-bath floor plans. Within those units, Malone says the layout incorporates an open design that eliminates dining room space, which can be returned to the design with a larger kitchen island with barstool seating. Students are also looking for storage space — not desk or study space — within their private bed- rooms. Washers and dryers as well as private bathrooms in-unit continue to be critical to students. "There's definitely been a move away from private study areas within the units themselves," Malone says. "We will counter balance that by providing more communal study areas within the clubhouse. Millennial college students value collaborative study spaces that are both easily acces- sible and well connected." SHB
