Amenitized, lifestyle-driven communities that are thoughtfully designed to immerse students in dynamic, social, and interactive environments that foster connection and belonging. Each BKV-designed community creates energy and an identity for student life — building environments where residents can live, learn, and thrive together.
National Student Housing Expertise
Today’s college students want a housing environment that reflects a dynamic blend between contemporary and functional design, and with BKV providing architecture and design services for 30 million square feet of student housing and has completed projects in 16 states, we understand trends in the industry, delivery of services, marketplace, operations, financing, and competition. We create well-designed environments that support residents and their need for both privacy and community.

We listen to your philosophy, goals, and future plans to ensure that your new construction design exceeds your expectations – and the expectations of the people it will serve.
