Mistletoe Community Renovation at Case Western Reserve University

The Mistletoe Residential Community at Case Western Reserve University consists of four buildings Sherman, Raymond, Norton, and Tyler, which house over 400 first-year students. Each building is identical to the other in size and layout with mostly double rooms and some singles along with a full kitchen, laundry facilities, lounge area, and a bike room.

The renovation program for the Mistletoe Residential Community consists of architectural improvements to all four buildings. The renovations on the first floor of each building will include a new enclosed entry vestibule, and new configurations for the study space, living room, kitchen area, trash room, and bike storage. Renovations to the upper floors will include a bathroom reconfiguration, which requires new penetrations on the existing floors. In addition, each building will include a new façade element along with upgrades to the mechanical systems. The design for all four buildings will be concurrent and the construction administration will happen with two buildings being renovated first followed by the remaining two buildings the following year.
