Clark Construction Group, LLC recently completed the $136 million Southwest Quadrangle Project at Georgetown University. Totaling over 860,000-square-feet, the complex consists of five components: three new residence halls, dining facility, underground parking garage, a fuel cell bus maintenance facility and Jesuit community residence.
Designed as three connected buildings, the 315,400-square-foot residence halls provide 784 additional beds for undergraduate students. Facilities include kitchens, classrooms, recreation and multipurpose rooms, laundry facilities, study space, as well as chaplain and faculty residence apartments.
Replacing an existing facility, the new 81,170-square-foot dining hall serves 1200 students daily. Blending elements of traditional and modern design, the building occupies a pie-shaped footprint with an arching facade to the southwest.
A four-level, 400,000-square-foot underground parking garage replaces a surface lot and can accommodate 780 vehicles. A bus maintenance facility occupies the lowest level of the garage, housing the University’s fuel cell buses - alternative fuel vehicles. The Jesuit community’s new residence includes public spaces, private quarters, and a chapel. Designed in the same traditional style, this four-story, 64,000-square-foot structure complements the new residence hall.
