University of Miami

Lakeside Village

In keeping with the University’s vision to become an exemplary and excellent institution, it is embarking on a multi-phase housing plan to improve its current housing offerings for students, beginning with the construction of a new Student Housing Village.

With its quintessential Miami Modern living community, integrated academic and student services, flexible event and recreational spaces, and locations for retail operations all on one site, the 600,000-square-foot lakeside Student Housing Village will redefine what it means to live, learn and work at the University of Miami. In addition to five floors of student housing for more than 1,000 students, the first floor and mezzanine level of the main structure are planned to serve as retail, event and office spaces. Tropic Mechanical has partnered with the team from the nascient phases of the project as a design-build partner, including all aspects of required infrastructure and Chilled Water connections throughout the campus.
