The site itself is 150' (wide) x 100' (deep), however; only 150' x 70' is buildable, per the zoning code. The remaining 30 feet can be designed as a backyard/public space as the program and design develop.
The zoning code also requires that the building must be within a sky exposure plan, which begins at a height of 60 feet. The set-back after this point is 20 feet, as seen in the third image below.
This creates an unique challenge to accommodate for the required sixty-five 800 square foot dorm units within this limited space.
