Case Study: Core Spaces achieves safer student housing design with Jensen Hughes

Core Spaces delivers a 12-story student residence with Jensen Hughes

Core Spaces, a real estate developer, partnered with the vendor Jensen Hughes to address the fire safety and smoke control design for a large, state-of-the-art student residence building. The project, located near North Carolina State University, presented a complex challenge requiring innovative engineering solutions beyond a one-size-fits-all code compliance approach for the 12-story, 1,964-bed facility.

Jensen Hughes provided specialized fire engineering, systems design, and smoke control modeling services for the comprehensive project. The solution facilitated the design and construction of the building, which includes multiple apartment configurations, courtyards, terraces, and significant parking. The project, which is set for completion in 2026, demonstrates Jensen Hughes' ability to deliver tailored safety solutions for large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments.
