	Site A  one block area in the college's residential sector, bordering one of the City's residential districts.  Florida Southern College boasts the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright structures at one location in the world.
	Program Construct three residence halls to replace older units built in the 1940's.  Programmatic requirements included creating a community of 250 students out of disparate student groups of fraternal organizations, sororities and independent students, as well as addressing control issues related to security and separation of male and female students.
	Solution The buildings are organized around an inner courtyard which serves as a recreational and social space.  The interior space planning utilized the "suite" concept for student living, with several multi-purpose meeting rooms for use as chapter rooms, recreation, and social spaces,
	as well as living quarters for a Resident Advisor.  Exterior relationships to the celebrated Frank Lloyd Wright buildings were maintained by the use of color, textural and architectural elements such as brick banding, stucco walls, deep roof overhangs and sun shade trellises.
