Calumet College of St. Joseph - 1 Year Later

Building on Student Success: Calumet College New Residence Hall

The new residence hall at Calumet College of St. Joseph marked a historic milestone as the school’s inaugural on-campus housing project. The first of four planned buildings for phased development, the residence hall creates an anchor for a student residence node as the college continues to see increased enrollment.

Located in Whiting Indiana, an historically industrial area with BP refineries, Indiana Harbor company, and Cokenergy, the design is meticulously crafted to seamlessly blend into the surrounding neighborhood, while offering contemporary materials, modern lines, and a residential scale. The exterior is made from local brick and composite panels - made out of a mixture of rice husks, common salt and mineral oil, the cladding contains no wood at all; instead, it makes use of an abundant by-product of rice farming.
