Project Narrative

This eight-story, 340 bed student housing complex is the fourth student housing complex of its kind in North City, a thriving new development in San Marcos just north of California State University, San Marcos (CSUSM). Located near the commercial and retail amenities of North City Drive, the building is linked to the University with an arching pedestrian bridge that provides students with convenient and safe access to the campus.

ConX Solutions

The long spans inherently provided with the ConXL 400 System greatly assisted in the design features of this facility, the three iconic housing clusters with 340 beds that are organized around two courtyards that represent expansive community space for students.
