Student Housing

IS Mechanical has completed several student housing projects on multiple campuses throughout the Phoenix MSA including but not limited to multiple projects on Arizona State University, Grand Canyon University and other small technical campuses. IS Mechanical understands the rigorous scheduling demands required with student housing projects. There is no opportunity to miss schedule dates when the students are coming back to campus.  

The HVAC construction of student housing is tailored to the unique demands of high-density living environments where comfort, energy efficiency, and reliability are critical due to constant year-round occupancy. Unlike other commercial construction applications, such as office buildings or retail spaces that experience fluctuating occupancy and operating hours, student housing requires systems that can handle sustained loads, individual room temperature control, and enhanced ventilation to promote indoor air quality in shared spaces like lounges, study areas, and kitchens. Additionally, the HVAC design must account for noise reduction to support a quiet academic environment. Compared to typical commercial projects, student housing often emphasizes cost-effective, low-maintenance solutions that can endure the wear and tear associated with young adult residents, while also meeting sustainability goals commonly mandated by educational institutions.
