Haggett Hall

The University of Washington Haggett Hall Replacement is a 230,000 SF, residence hall for 800 first- and second-year students. Positioned on a steep 45-foot grade across the former 2.45-acre Haggett Hall site, the 10-story building advances the University’s decade-long plan for revitalizing North Campus housing. The program includes a student wellness center, integrating mental health resources directly into the residential experience.

PIONEERING SUSTAINABILITY AND STUDENT WELLNESS
The residence hall is designed as an all-electric building and is targeting a minimum of LEED Gold certification, with completion scheduled for 2027. The combined design of the residence hall, wellness center, and site infrastructure creates a cohesive residential environment grounded in student well-being and connection to the landscape.

INNOVATION IN MASS TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
The Haggett Hall Replacement is the first project in the United States to combine trimmable open-web wood trusses, mass plywood panels, and prefabricated semi-balloon (tall wall) framing in a single structural system, an approach that accelerates construction timelines, reduces labor demands, optimizes material use, and seamlessly integrates mass timber into light-frame wood construction. Furthermore, as modern buildings require increasingly complex building systems which compete for space within floors, roofs, and ceilings, this method maximizes usable interstitial space and allows trade subcontractors to install building systems with greater ease and efficiency.
