Partnering with universities, PCL is building housing complexes that give students access to what they need for postsecondary success.

When it comes to higher education projects, PCL Construction’s stellar reputation stretches across North America, with outstanding results on campuses across Canada and the United States. PCL doesn’t just build the buildings where people learn, though. Students also need places to live while attending university. Living on campus means students have easier access to school resources, faculty and peer-to-peer learning — all of which increase their chances of success.

PCL has created housing for thousands of California students over its history and has an extensive understanding of what students need for an engaging, enriching postsecondary experience. Over the past 10 years, PCL has consistently ranked in the top 10 of Building Design+Construction magazine’s top university building contractors in the United States, reaching the tenth spot in 2025 with more than $313 million in revenue in the sector.

These housing projects encompass a wide range of projects that support both new construction and the revitalization of existing campus assets. From Summit House, an innovative mass timber residence hall on Metropolitan State University of Denver’s campus, to the renovation of North Dakota State University’s Seim Hall, PCL helps institutions create housing environments that meet evolving student needs. As colleges and universities continue investing in student housing to attract and retain students, projects like Seim Hall demonstrate how thoughtful residence hall renovations can extend the life of existing facilities while creating more supportive living spaces that contribute to student success and long-term enrollment goals.
