Mills College Courtyard Townhouses
Oakland, California

Mills College Courtyard Residence Hall is located on a sloping site on a wooded edge of the Mills Campus. The project consists of three walk-up style buildings, with single occupancy rooms in 2, 4 and 5 bedroom configurations, organized around a central, skylit foyer. Following the pattern set by many of the historic structures on campus, the building are arranged around a landscaped central courtyard, building entries are marked by large covered porches and built-in seating. The combination of courtyard, shared entry porches, and large daylit foyers maximizes the opportunities for interaction among the student residents.
