THE TALLEST MASS TIMBER STUDENT HOUSING COMMUNITY IN THE U.S.

WHY MASS TIMBER MATTERS

Mass timber changes more than how a building looks. It changes how it feels to live inside it.

As the first large-scale mass timber student housing community in Columbus, INTRO was designed around wellness, natural materials, and biophilic design principles proven to support focus, comfort, and overall well-being. Exposed timber ceilings, expansive natural light, and open 10-foot living spaces create an environment that feels warmer, calmer, and more breathable than traditional student housing.

This isn’t design for the sake of aesthetics. It’s intentional student living built to support the rhythm of everyday life.
