Housing Information
On Campus Housing
We currently have approximately 400 students living in CCS student housing. The housing consists of suites in the Art Centre
Building and the Taubman Center. Dining services are available in the Taubman Center and at the Ford Campus. Students living in
the Taubman are required to purchase a meal plan.
THE A. ALFRED TAUBMAN CENTER FOR DESIGN EDUCATION
The Taubman Center offers accommodations for two to three people per room. Rooms are furnished with beds, storage units, wardrobe, a couch, coffee table and a bedside table. Each room is approximately 500 square feet and has its own private bath, a large closet and upper storage area. Rooms are also wired for basic cable, room to room phone service and have wireless Internet access.
The Taubman Center is built on the philosophy of community, so just outside the student’s living quarters are work spaces, fitness rooms and lounge areas for students to interact. Each floor also houses a laundry room. Continuing with the theme of community, a full-service dining area is just a few floors below. Students living in the Taubman Center are required to have a meal plan.
THE ART CENTRE BUILDING
The Art Centre Building (ACB) offers suite-style accommodations for students. The size of each suite varies, ranging from approximately 700-square-feet to approximately 1,200-square-feet. The 4-6 person option has two or more bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 2-3 person option has one bedroom and one bathroom. ACB suites include a living room, dining room, and kitchen.
Each student is provided a bed, dresser, and dining chair. The living room is furnished with two couches, two end tables, and a coffee table. The kitchen comes with a refrigerator and a stove. In addition, each bedroom has one bedside table and there is a dining room table located in the dining room.
Ethernet cable connections are provided in every suite. Cable television service is also available, but not provided.
The ACB has a fitness center that is open 24-hours-a-day with cable television and air conditioning. Located near the fitness center are coin-operated laundry facilities and a spray/work room that students can use for messy projects.
