The Village
The Village

In 2011, Young Harris College opened The Village, a LEED-certified apartment-style housing community for upperclassmen. The furnished apartments in The Village are constructed on a rolling terrain with views of the surrounding mountains and campus athletic facilities.

Configured in apartments of four private bedrooms, the complex features 248 beds. In addition to four private bedrooms, each apartment includes a living area, kitchen and washer and dryer. The "village" atmosphere is facilitated by expansive porches, designated areas for grilling and abundant green space surrounding the apartments. It is the third new construction project to be completed as part of Young Harris College's strategic plan to make the transformation to four-year status.

The Towers
The Towers

In Fall 2013, Young Harris College opened The Towers, a LEED-certified unique housing community for first-year students. Centered near the heart of campus, this facility is made up of three separate buildings connected through a shared central building.

The Towers are configured in “pods,” or small communities consisting of students living in different sizes and styles of rooms surrounding a country-club-style bath area. The innovative pod concept is a growing trend in residence life nationwide. It provides both living and learning spaces that encourage student interaction and foster a sense of community during formative semesters on campus. Each pod features large and inviting study alcoves and lounges with comfortable sofas and 55" flat-screen televisions, providing students with ample common areas to study and socialize. These spaces within the building give resident assistants the opportunity to regularly interact with students and introduce unique programming. Other amenities include cable television access, wireless internet access, ample closet space and a laundry facility on each floor.

This facility was the fourth construction project to be completed as part of Young Harris College's strategic plan to make the transformation to four-year status.
