| dc.description.abstract | As the need for graduate education continues to rise, universities must consider new ways to recruit graduate students from all over the world. This practicum document describes the design of a specialized student housing centre at the University of Manitoba that focuses on meeting the needs of graduate students specifically. Literature on community living and human wellness as well as several precedent studies helped to inform the programming and spatial planning of the project as well as each of the interior design considerations. The intense nature of graduate education can take its toll on the mental and physical well-being of graduate students. The interior design of the proposed Graduate Student Housing Centre (GSHC) aims to provide a welcoming and energizing third place environment where graduate students can live, study, network, play, and relax within one convenient location. | en_US |
