INTO-OSU International Residence Hall

Owner: Oregon State University
Scope: 152,250 SF
Notable: First United States partnership for INTO-UK

This new International Residence Hall will serve as more than just housing for a diverse international and domestic population – it’s designed to prepare international students to study in the United States, ease introduction to a new country, improve English language skills, and introduce courses required for their intended major. As a live/learn facility, the program is a robust palette of amenities including an international food market and deli, café, classrooms, offices, and single, double and quadruple-occupancy suites. A key planning goal for the building is to create a new residential precinct and a destination for activity on campus. Open green space will be shared with the adjacent residence halls providing a dynamic community for international students to immerse themselves in American culture, benefit through dialogue and awareness, and feel comfortable, safe and welcome.
