This modular design was intended as temp housing for the construction workers during the development of UMass-Amherst. More than fifty years later, Puffton Village is still in use as one of the primary off-campus housing locations for students.
This project is innovative in that the University hired a trailer company to establish an affordable modular system. While these units would be considered inefficient by todays standards, their organizational system is still relevant today.
By attempting to reimagine a more efficient, resourceful living space today, such modular proportions are important to consider.
