Innovative Framing Solutions for Student Housing Construction:
At Elevate, our Alpha Framing System and structural steel packages are engineered to work together seamlessly—delivering the strength, flexibility, and speed required for today’s student housing developments. In typical projects, structural steel is utilized for podium levels, common spaces, and parking structures, providing the large spans needed for amenities like dining halls, lounges, and fitness centers, while Alpha frames the residential levels above, accelerating unit stacking and corridor framing. This integrated approach helps developers and builders meet critical academic-year occupancy deadlines while ensuring both architectural intent and project durability are fully realized.
When on-time delivery and tight construction windows are non-negotiable—especially to meet academic-year occupancy deadlines—the Alpha Framing System is the ultimate solution. Capable of installing up to 15,000 sq ft per week with a single crew, Alpha enables rapid structural progress while maintaining high levels of precision and quality. Designed for repeatable floor plans, long corridor runs, and dense unit stacking, Alpha is a perfect fit for mid-rise, multi-building student housing projects. Its offsite manufacturing and panelized assembly help mitigate labor shortages and reduce rework, ensuring projects stay on schedule and ready for student move-in.
Structural Steel
Many modern student housing projects include mixed-use ground floors, parking podiums, or large common areas like fitness centers, study lounges, or dining halls. For these more complex programmatic requirements, structural steel framing provides the strength and span flexibility needed without sacrificing design intent. Elevate’s turnkey steel packages are engineered to support Type I, II, or III construction, and are ideal for urban infill, flagship campus housing, or hybrid use student-focused developments. Our in-house team ensures structural alignment, code compliance, and seamless integration with upper-level framing systems.
