The Nexus

Fall 2024 Colvin Capstone Competition - Honorable Mention

The Nexus at CSULB represents a groundbreaking addition to the university’s campus, blending innovative mass timber construction with a focus on wellness and community engagement. This project includes state-of-the-art student housing and a cutting-edge library, creating a vibrant hub that aligns with the university's mission of supporting student success and well-being. This project has a prime location with short walks to all academic, recreational, and social facilities, offering unparalleled convenience. Premium amenities such as a private green roof and various wellness spaces (yoga/meditation rooms, makerspaces) set this project apart from other housing options. As a brand-new housing option built to premium standards, The Nexus stands out from both on-campus and off-campus alternatives. The project’s alignment with CSULB’s "wellness walk" plan further underscores its commitment to creating a holistic, student-focused environment. The Nexus is more than just a housing and library project, it is an investment in the future of CSULB students.
