Year Completed:  2008

In Association with: Little Diversified

Apartments - Green Globes Level 1

Community Building - Green Globes Level 2

Allison with Little Diversified Architectural Consulting planned and designed the Duncan Avenue Apartments to meet the University of Arkansas’s sustainability requirements, and the project is the first Green Globes Level 2 facility on the Fayetteville campus.  The site for the apartments presented an outstanding opportunity to create a residential complex that enriches the urban fabric of Fayetteville and preserves an unspoiled sliver of the natural environment.  Direct street access to each unit creates activity along the street, while the rear of the buildings opens to a natural area, planted with native species, and the adjacent wooded site.  The Community Building, which houses a manager’s office and community room, is pulled away from the street edge, creating a courtyard within the site.  Some of the sustainable features of the apartments include the use of a previously developed site, access to natural light and ventilation, energy efficient fixtures throughout, and close proximity to the center of campus with access to city trails and public transportation.
