Texas Christian University Worth Hills Village

A True Residential Experience

In response to the escalating demand for on-campus housing and the imperative to provide contemporary accommodations for Texas Christian University’s vibrant Greek community, KSQ Design worked with the University to create TCU’s Worth Hills Village.

Consisting of five upper-division residence halls, a multipurpose building with a dining hall, a parking garage, and a Greek Village with 11 chapter houses for 25 fraternity and sorority chapters, the $230 million complex provides over 1,800 new beds for the University. The five residence halls offer suite-style units as well as common areas, study rooms and outdoor spaces to facilitate student engagement. Campus identity and sense of place were driving factors for this project.

The project consisted of six phases. The design features a series of small, interconnected buildings in a park-like setting. Brick, cast stone, and stucco are placed in various patterns and proportions for the four-story facades. Phase I of student housing includes Marion-Clark Halls which serve as a gateway to the Village. The Greek housing showcases its own version of the campus materials palette and compliments the traditional style of Worth Hills as a unique, individual building that forms a cohesive community.

KSQ Design served as the lead architect, assisting TCU with the programming, planning, and design for all projects. The project consisted of six phases and achieved a LEED Gold Certification.
