Santa Clarita Community College District - College of the Canyons
Santa Clarita CCD brought WWA and our sub-consultant team on board to design a 3-story, 100% affordable, student housing facility located on the North end of the College of the Canyons campus. With state funding and a district-approved program, our collaborative approach enabled us to envision a three-story structure that not only provided essential housing for students but also integrated seamlessly into the existing campus environment. Drawing on our expertise in sustainable design and space optimization, we developed a concept that maximized affordability without compromising on quality or comfort. Through meticulous planning and coordination, we are navigating the complexities of the project, ensuring that the final result meets the college's vision of accessible and inclusive student accommodation.
