The project will consist of a comprehensive site redevelopment of the existing Aggie Village North Apartments. The existing buildings and hardscape will be deconstructed to allow for
the development of approximately 4o8,000 gross square feet of new student apartment housing. Additionally, the site will accommodate up to 6o garden level, 12o below grade and 70
surface parking spaces integrated in strategic ways to allow for a range of pedestrian focused plazas, courtyards, lawns and exterior programmed spaces. Significant open space will be
preserved to maintain and celebrate the residential experience and leverage the favorable Colorado climate.
The completed project will accommodate and primarily serve the needs of 3 distinct student communities; the Intercultural Connections Community (ICC), the unaffiliated undergraduate
community and the graduate / post doc / scholar community. The t,000 beds will be dispersed between a variety of unit types; studio through 4 bedroom configurations. To help support
the vitality of the residential experience, the project will also provide amenity and community programming spaces, such as student lounges, group kitchens and large flex rooms.
Further, modest retail shell space will be programmed along Center Avenue in an effort to maintain the energy flowing from campus and encourage life, vitality and community interaction
along the public edges.
Drainage around the proposed buildings will be conveyed via surface drainage through curb and gutter, inlets, storm piping and sheet flow away from the buildings. Storm water is
anticipated to be conveyed through storm piping to an existing 42" storm line located along the western properly line. Flows from the 42" line are eventually conveyed to the Spring
Creek, South of the site. On -site detention and water quality facilities are anticipated and will have to be incorporated into the site layout. Caution will have to be taken at the northeast
corner of the site as this is within the CSU ioo-year floodplain. Preliminary estimates show an increase in impervious surface area of approximately go,000-ioo,000 sf. Low Impact
Development strategies will be explored to decrease the required detention volume, while serving to enhance water quality at the same time.
Pervious parking could be achieved by installing permeable pavers and an underdrain system. Further coordination between the CSU landscape architect and project architect is necessary
to determine fine grading and use of surrounding and proposed stormwater infrastructure.
Coordination with CSU will need to occur to determine the appropriate erosion control measures to be in place during construction.
Further coordination will most likely be required to determine allowable street capacities for stormwater conveyance off site.
