The students at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, come from across the United States and around the world to study at the Fountainhead of Chiropractic. For many years there was no housing on campus and living opportunities were limited to neighborhood houses and apartment buildings, so the Board of Trustees decided it was time to build a modern residential facility on campus that meets the needs of their students. This 96,000-square-foot, 139-bed building with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartment-style units was designed with graduate students’ needs for indoor and outdoor living, studying, and socializing space. The project also responded to a need for open outdoor space missing on the urban campus by creating an adjacent all-weather turf field for use by their students for both recreation and club athletic teams.
