Designing for the Future of Graduate Student Living at D’Youville University

We’re excited to share our latest collaboration with Uniland Development and D’Youville University: a new graduate student housing project set to transform 443 West Avenue in Buffalo’s West Side.
Together, we designed a five-story, 188-unit wood-frame building that offers more than just student housing. Our vision includes on-site amenity spaces and a future tenant space that will support both residents and the broader community. With a design focused on walkability, the project provides pedestrian access from both West and Plymouth Avenues, and vehicle access via Plymouth.

This development is about more than buildings, it’s about supporting D’Youville’s mission to recruit and retain top graduate students while relieving pressure on surrounding neighborhoods. By consolidating student demand into a dedicated, thoughtfully scaled facility, the project strengthens the university’s long-term presence in the city.
