Gallaudet University Residence Halls
800, Florida Avenue Northeast, Washington, DC, United States
Gallaudet University is the nation's foremost university for the deaf and hard of hearing. Studio Twenty Seven Architecture collaborated with the Gallaudet community of students and faculty to improve the common spaces of all of the residence halls. Disconnected from the overall campus, the existing public spaces of the residence halls were perceived negatively by students, faculty and administration. Inside the dormitory common spaces, the sense of connection to the Olmstead-designed campus space outside is lost. There is an absence of threshold, transparency, or clearly defined path between the exterior and interior public spaces.Working within the Deaf Space guidelines developed by the University, Studio Twenty Seven Architecture developed a design solution for the halls of Gallaudet that addresses internal and external factors such as campus view corridors, building approach, and path. The design emphasizes overall campus connection as well as the cognitive, haptic, and proxemic concerns of incorporating Deaf Space into the residence hall interiors.
