After the Second World War had ended, the University of British Columbia, faced with thousands of returning veterans and a general shortage of accommodation in the Vancouver area, first accepted the responsibility of providing housing facilities for students. For this purpose, five former army camps were altered and expanded; Little Mountain, Lulu Island, and Wesbrook Camps to house married students, Fort Camp to house single men exclusively, while Acadia Camp accommodated single men, single women, and families. The development of these temporary residences from 19445 to 1949, when they housed approximately 775 single students and 550 families, is traced, with emphasis on the administration of the camps by the University. Student Government within the Camps is also discussed, with particular attention being given to the Little Mountain, Acadia, and Fort Camp Councils. By means of questionnaires, student opinions of certain features of the camps for single students was sought, both among the residents of these camps, and among the general student body of the University. An analysis and discussion of the answers obtained is included, and will, it is hoped, be of assistance in the planning of permanent residences. A preference for living in a residence, rather than boarding in a private home is indicated, and the location of the residences for men and women students in the same general area, with common dining and recreational facilities, is favoured. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

As the need for graduate education continues to rise, universities must consider new ways to recruit graduate students from all over the world. This practicum document describes the design of a specialized student housing centre at the University of Manitoba that focuses on meeting the needs of graduate students specifically. Literature on community living and human wellness as well as several precedent studies helped to inform the programming and spatial planning of the project as well as each of the interior design considerations. The intense nature of graduate education can take its toll on the mental and physical well-being of graduate students. The interior design of the proposed Graduate Student Housing Centre (GSHC) aims to provide a welcoming and energizing third place environment where graduate students can live, study, network, play, and relax within one convenient location. / October 2016

In 1945 the University of British Columbia set up a number of temporary residential areas for the students who flocked to the University at the close of the war. Acadia, the first of these, is particularly interesting because it housed both men and women residents, because it acquired some of the elements of a residential community, and because it was close to the main campus. Accordingly, an analytical study has been made of the first four years of its development. Three main sources of material were utilized: (l) Personal contacts with the students living at Acadia in various years, (2) The minutes of the Student Council meetings, (3) Questionnaires on the pros and cons of residential conditions, student activities, etc., filled in by 244 students (70 per cent of the total of 292 men and 88 women resident in 1948). The study describes the physical features and development of the area from the original army "camp"; the characteristics of the student residents; student participation in campus activities; the functioning of the Acadia Council, and administrative problems of a student residence as exemplified by this experiment. The indications are that (a) the physical facilities were severely limited, but accepted cheerfully by most residents; (b) a majority of student welcomed and benefitted from the community aspects of Acadia; (c) only minimum supervision is called for, and a good deal of self-government can be developed, but (d) it is important that lines of administrative responsibility be clearly drawn. The "cottage type" of student accommodation and non-segregation of men and women students, both gained heavy votes from the Acadia students, among the preferences suggested to them for a future permanent type of residence. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Interior organization carefully considers different needs of various personality types. Middle block is composed of mezzanine flats. The other two patrs are free plan organization of 1 bed or two bed rooms surrounding a corridor that servs the function of a huge living room. Corner on the south and north are glazed and communicate with the urban setting all the time. It is conceived as an urban gesture, a vibrant show of the student life performed for the city. Form of the building as well as the facade truly depicts the diversity of its interior setting. The facade is quite compact in the middle "mezanine" section and changes gradually towards its edges in thw way of pulling in and out of components - which is in this case a room. Rather long building is divided into three sections therefore resembling a more traditional street urban rythm.
