Duquesne University partnered with Radnor Property Group to build a new 11-story student housing building consisting of a partial below grade mechanical floor with amenity and residential housing above as well as green roofs. The foundation is a cast-in-place concrete mat slab. The structure is a combination of structural steel and girder beams with hollow core concrete planks. Inclusive of 556 beds within 216 apartments, the multi-bedroom style units has individual bedrooms, one or two baths, common space, and kitchen.
