MLB was selected as the Construction Manager for this transformative project, which involved the replacement of the aging Scribner Village apartments, originally constructed in 1973, on the Skidmore College campus.
Phase 1 involved the construction of two new apartment-style buildings built into the slope along Skidmore’s perimeter. The four-story buildings were tailored especially for sophomores seeking a bit more independence than the traditional residence halls provide. Each unit houses 57 students in 5-person apartments.
In Phase 2, seven new two-story buildings were constructed, each housing 34 students in 4-bedroom apartments. An emphasis was placed on preserving the Village’s community spirit: the buildings, each with a patio, form an oval around a central green space at the community’s center.
