Phase 1 of the Residential Village Provides 380 Beds of Housing and a New Dining Pavilion for the UW Bothell Campus

Bothell, WA –

The University of Washington Bothell, Capstone Development Partners, Harrison Street and design-build team members including, Mahlum Architects and Andersen Construction, celebrated the opening of the first phase of the new on-campus Residential Village with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Bothell, Washington, on September 20, 2023.

The initial phase of the Residential Village includes the delivery of two new buildings, Summit Hall and the Terrace Dining Pavilion. Summit Hall provides 380 beds of housing for first-year students in mostly double occupancy traditional-style units. It also includes 14,000 square feet of office space on the ground level for the university enrollment services and other administrative functions. The 15,000 square foot Terrace Dining Pavilion is a 495-seat facility that provides multiple dining options for residential students, as well as other students, faculty and staff on the shared campus of UW Bothell and Cascadia College.

“Capstone is honored to be playing a role in improving the student life and experience on campus,” said Chad Izmirian, Sr. Vice President of Capstone Development Partners. “We appreciate the collaboration and partnership with the UW Bothell team and look forward to completing the final phase of this transformational project next summer.”

“We are thrilled to provide the extraordinary academic experiences our faculty and staff provide along with the community life that a residential campus experience brings,” said Kristin G. Esterberg, UW Bothell chancellor. “We look forward to creating new ways for students to connect — events and activities that serve all students, both residential and commuting, and that invite everyone to engage more deeply in our campus community.”

Phase II of the new Residential Village is currently under construction and is anticipated to be completed by summer 2024. Upon completion, the new residential village will encompass over 300,000-square-feet offering a total of 1,055 beds in traditional residence halls, suites and apartment style housing and amenities serving undergraduate and graduate students at UW Bothell.

The new Residential Village is on track to receive LEED Gold Certification.

“The opening of the first phase of Residential Village marks an important step in our combined efforts to deliver a world-class facility for incoming students at UW Bothell,” said Jim Hennessy, Managing Director and Head of P3 Development at Harrison Street. “We are incredibly proud to be part of such a meaningful project and are excited to continue working with our partners and the University as we complete Phase II.”

The project was designed by Mahlum Architects and is being constructed by Andersen Construction. Capstone Management Partners provides the operations and management services for the facilities in conjunction with UW Bothell’s residential life team.
