This student residence at the corner of Park and Regent streets in Madison, WI, designed by LJC, serves upperclassmen at the University of Wisconsin while honoring the history of the Greenbush neighborhood. The building’s design integrates plazas, pedestrian paths, and artwork that celebrates the local heritage, with a cafe and landscaped streetscape enhancing the community experience. Setbacks at levels five and nine create a harmonious transition to the surrounding buildings, aligning with neighborhood planning guidelines.

LJC overcame the challenge of fitting the required number of units on a tapered site by cantilevering parts of the building over a service drive and breaking the massing into distinct volumes. The residence offers a range of living options, from studios to five-bedroom apartments, with a rooftop amenity deck for residents. High-quality materials like terra-cotta and dark gray brick create a durable and visually appealing façade, making this one of Madison’s standout student housing developments.
