Project Overview: Construction of a new 112,000 sq. ft. residence hall on Colby College campus, designed to house 217 juniors and seniors.​ This project utilizes mass timber construction, including cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam columns, making it Maine’s largest CLT building.​

Design Features: The building comprises six interconnected structures, each three to four stories tall, featuring four-, five-, and six-person suites with single-occupancy bedrooms, shared bathrooms, living areas and kitchenettes. It includes a campus-accessible café offering made-to-order meals, baked goods and beverages, along with dedicated student spaces for various uses.​ 

Project Timeline: Construction commenced in May 2024, with completion anticipated by Fall 2026.​  

“We take great pride in bringing our culture of safety, professionalism, and concrete craftsmanship to a project of this caliber,” said Shane Giles, President of N S Giles. “Partnering with Landry/French on this transformative initiative for Colby College has been a privilege. We’re especially proud of our team’s commitment to safety and how our proactive planning has supported smooth and effective implementation throughout the project.”
