The Bunkhouse is comprised of 24 bedrooms, each approximately 10 x 18 feet with a private toilet room and sink. A shower room is located on each floor. Other common spaces include a kitchen, laundry room, lounge with computer equipment, lobby, and tenant storage lockers. Operating on two 12-hour day and night shifts, residents share the bunkrooms, two on each shift, except handicapped rooms which house one person on each shift. Residents have 24-hour access to common areas and to their personal storage lockers. Goals in designing the new Bunkhouse were to create 24-hour shelter access, enhance common space uses, and maximize the building’s adaptability for potential future use as an independent SRO housing facility.
The Bunkhouse provides transitional housing for up to 60 single, formerly homeless, men and women who are working. In order to save their earnings for permanent housing, residents work approximately 4 hours per week managing the Bunkhouse in lieu of rent.
