Student Housing
Since launching the first Hub project with Core Spaces, our partnership has grown into a national portfolio. Two communities are complete, in Bloomington, Indiana, and Fullerton, California, with a third in design in Berkeley, California, and three more under construction, a second Bloomington community and two sites in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Connecting Students and Community
Hub Fullerton serves students from three colleges in Fullerton, California, with 359 units and 1,047 beds across seven stories and 687,000 SF. Broken into distinct volumes across an 862-foot site, the design pairs brick and wood townhomes at the east edge with a more energetic, public character to the west. Light wells and stepped massing reduce the building's perceived length, while a central paseo anchors gathering, retail, and a ground-floor coffee shop. DLR Group provided architecture services.
Collegiate Charm, Modern Living
Hub Bloomington, a nine-story, 170-unit residential community, draws from the culture and identity of one of the country’s most storied college towns in Bloomington, Indiana. A hospitality-driven approach shapes the experience, pairing 589 beds across a mix of studios to five-bedroom suites with a robust amenity program that supports academic life, social connection, and personal wellbeing. Responding to a 30-foot grade change, the building steps with the slope, reducing perceived scale and creating a dynamic presence from multiple vantage points, while an integrated stormwater strategy uses subtle grading and planted swales to manage runoff and reinforce a cohesive landscape.
Inside, the design channels the collegiate spirit and storied legacy of the Hoosiers. Historic athletic references, library-influenced details, and subtle nods to campus traditions shape an atmosphere that feels both familiar and refreshingly original. DLR Group provided architecture and interior design services.
