University housing has a significant role and value to the total educational experience. It is an informal environment that can be conducive to casual social encounters, therefore fostering communication and interchanging of ideas between residents. In this thesis, I study the types of housing available on the M.I.T. campus through observations and diagrams. With intentions to to further facilitate and extend interactions and optional associations among residents, I propose an energy conscious design for University housing on a site located at an edge of the MIT campus.
