Student Residential Experience
Strategies
1. Off-campus Housing: office to provide assistance to students
seeking off-campus housing that would maintain a listing of offcampus housing options
2. Public-Private / Third Party Opportunities:
a) Third-party housing not owned or managed by RISD
b) Private-private partnership leasing property to be developed
and managed by a third-party
c) Explore a renegotiation of a favorable, short term lease at
Charles Landing
3. New Construction: Begin study of opportunities to add 100-150 beds
adjacent to the Quad on Prospect Street. This housing would be
designed for first year students and would allow renovation of Homer
and Nickerson Halls
