The NPPR Residence Hall is a 5 story residential building meant to house students at Swarthmore College. It consists of three main structures, each cube-shaped (aptly labelled as Cube A, B, and C) and joined by a common lobby at ground level. Part of the exterior facade is connected to the baseball field next to the site. Subsequent levels 2 and 3 also contain common corridors connecting the three structures. Level 4 contains Cube A and Cube B only and Level 5 consists of Cube B only. Each of the roofs of the structures supports an air handling unit which supplies air to its part of the building. These are surrounded by photo-voltaic systems on each of the roofs, which supply electricity to the building and add to the sustainable features of the building. The main heating and cooling of the building is carried out by valence units on each floor. These are supplied by a hydronic system connected to the basement, which only exists within Cube B and houses the boilers and heat pumps. Connected to these are a number of geothermal wells on site which help supply heat to the system.
