Cedar Hall (Jamestown East)
The design of Cedar Hall completes a triangle shaped residential section of campus created by Lemon and Hardy Halls, adjacent to a main campus thoroughfare, Jamestown Road. It will be in line with the campus design guidelines for development at the campus edge, continuing the traditional architectural character established by Barrett and Jefferson Halls. The scale of the development is shaped to maintain a welcoming residential campus experience. Limiting the scale of development to three stories plus a fully occupied attic story maintains a comfortable residential feel. A new triangular courtyard becomes the unifying landscape space. The entry portal at the apex of the wedge-shaped building will welcome students and visitors into the residential courtyard from the intersection of Jamestown Road and Landrum Drive.

Jamestown East's massing and form follow that of its neighbors, Lemon and Hardy, with courtyard-facing elements taking architectural cues from the existing residence halls.
The triangular courtyard formed by the three residential buildings creates an intimate public gathering space for residents of Lemon, Hardy, and Jamestown East.
The form and order of Jamestown East compliments the architectural expression of the residential buildings along Jamestown Road, particularly its direct neighbor, Barrett Hall.
