ABOUT THE PROJECT

DISGAU and EwingCole collaborated on this project and specified reSAWN’s STEAMBOAT wide plank oak for ceiling cladding & millwork throughout Caesar Rodney Hall at the University of Delaware.

This project includes new construction of Dining Services and Residence Hall facilities adjacent to the historic main quad at University of Delaware. The Dining Services program consists of a new dining facility with a capacity of 1,220 seats and a net program area of approximately 65,000 gsf.

The Residence Hall program consists of a new student residence hall with a target population of 303 beds. Key features include: an exterior dining terrace, three primary residential buildings with a roof terrace that
creates a passage from the quad to Academy Street; and a series of terraced landscape platforms on Academy Street that create an outdoor student commons.
