College of the Siskiyous Student Housing

A Student First Approach

Positioned at the edge of the campus core, the project establishes a new residential presence that brings students into closer connection with daily campus life. Designed to serve all three District campuses, it provides 316 beds for first-generation, low-income, and housing-insecure students, creating a shared living environment that supports both independence and belonging.

Organized for Flexibility

The building offers a mix of semi-suites, studios, and apartment-style units, allowing students to choose living arrangements that reflect their needs. Shared kitchens, study rooms, and lounges are distributed throughout, creating a rhythm of spaces that support both focused work and informal interaction. The result is a residential environment that balances privacy with connection.

Living with Support Built In

Housing is integrated with a broader network of support spaces, including counseling offices, a food pantry, and areas for study and gathering. These elements are embedded within the building to create a more complete student environment, one that supports daily life while reinforcing academic success. By pairing housing with accessible services, the project strengthens stability, persistence, and the overall student experience.
