Trends in Campus Housing: A Critical Component When Planning Your Campus' Learning Environment. [Webcast CD]
(Society for College and University Planning and the Association of College & University Housing Officers–International , Apr 2007)

Eliminating Humidity and Condensation Problems in University Dormitories: Case Study.
http://resources.cacx.org/library/holdings/265.pdf Chen, Hui;Hugghins, Joel; Bruner, Homer; Zhu, Yiwen; Turner, W. D.; Deng, Song Deng; Claridge, David. (California Commissioning Collaborative, Sacramento , Jan 2003)
Presents the investigation and follow-up efforts that identified reasons and corrective measures for high humidity levels in the living areas of two Texas A&M dormitories. The paper describes how the dormitories were affected by excessive humidity by verifying design and existing HVAC systems, diagnosing humidity problems, and then recommending continuous commissioning measures implemented to deal with these problems. High humidity was attributed to largely to excess infiltration of unconditioned outside air, and to lack of effective airflow pathways within the buildings. 10p.

Dormitory Fires. [Topical Fire Research Series]
http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/tfrs/v1i14.pdf (U.S. Fire Administration, Emmitsburg, MD, Mar 2001)
Each year in the U.S. there are an estimated 1,300 fires in high school, private and prep school, and university dormitories. These fires are responsible for less than 5 deaths, and approximately 50 injuries, and $4.1 million in property loss annually.

The Jackson State University Honors Dormitory: An Evaluation of Design, Construction, and Maintenance. Report to the Mississippi Legislature.
http://www.eric.ed.gov/contentdelivery (Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review, Mississippi Legislature , Dec 27, 2000)
This report assesses (1) whether the Jackson State University (JSU) Honors Dormitory required nearly $1 million in repairs two years after it was built because of inappropriate design, construction, and maintenance; and (2) if the state or university has legal recourse to recover damages resulting from inferior design and/or construction specifications. Findings reveal that JSU did not effectively investigate or identify existing subsurface water collection problems at the site. Also, the State Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) did not assure that the dormitory was properly maintained when JSU failed to resolve the groundwater problem. Neither JSU nor the Department of Finance and Administration has legal recourse to recover damages to pay the repair expenses. Recommendations suggest (1)a high-level JSU review of the university's preventive maintenance plan, (2)a JSU review of the distribution of maintenance responsibilities between facility maintenance staff and the student affairs staff to determine effective maintenance methods, and (3) the adoption of a uniform policy for preventive and emergency maintenance programs for all campus facilities. Concluding sections present responses to the report. 50p.

Examines the high stakes for universities and colleges in campus housing provision. From competing for prospective students and environmental bragging rights to contesting for space on the typical campus, institutions face a fundamentally different landscape than they did when housing previous generations of students. A national sampling of student residential projects and housing data is examined to provide some indication of emerging trends. Examples of recent campus housing developments illustrate the text. Universities and colleges are increasingly looking to the campus edge, will challenge themselves to build sustainably, and will partner or compete with private developers in a variety of contexts. These emerging trends are set against the already-established trend that finds students experiencing and expecting more luxurious accommodations than were once typical. Includes 11 references.

Reports the findings of a two-part study on the influence of dormitory architecture on patterns of social relations among college undergraduates. The first part investigates how dormitory architecture affects patterns of freshman acquaintance.

The second part studied whether these freshman acquaintances evolved into more meaningful relationships such as friendship and rooming groups over the remaining years of college life. Time is specifically evaluated as an intervening variable in persistence of social relationships. [Author's abstract]
