Plymouth State University’s (PSU) newest residence hall, Merrill Place Residence Hall and Conference Center, is a seven-story, 288-bed building that allows PSU to further integrate its academic cluster model into the living-learning experience for students. In addition to being the premier residence hall on campus, Merrill Place also serves as the centerpiece to PSU’s growing conference and events department. With full-service conference facilities and on-site hotel-style housing, Merrill Place will help Plymouth State grow its summer conference business and have a direct, positive impact on regional tourism and economic development.

Code Red Consultants assisted architecture firm Perkins + Will in confirming code compliance for the design of Merrill Place as a student residential structure that doubles as a business center during the non-school months of the year. The code compliant design achieved a balance between student and public access.
