Overview

Mercer Court is a 550,000 SF building complex providing housing for University of Washington students. The complex contains five buildings designed with multiple sustainability features including rooftop solar panels, an urban farm, and a water cistern that recycles rainwater for laundry use. The multifamily project provided more than 900 beds in a mix of different apartment types, and was LEED Gold certified in 2015 for its design and construction.

Matheus Lumber provided materials for the seven-story concrete and wood-frame structure, and was able to handle the deadlines of the project’s stringent schedule even with the challenges of delivering lumber to the crowded UW area of Seattle.
