The aim of the project is to create a community of students in a series of connected housing within the boundary of the campus. It is a well-known fact that retention is a combination of many things, which include how attached a student feels to the campus. Creating a community enhances retention. Previous efforts to enhance retention for this group have only had marginal effects, and providing better housing options has the possibility of far greater effects. This is the first building phase, and it will include students who have been determined to be refugees by the university admissions office. 

This project has been approved by Housing and Food Services and has received feedback from the target community. Building additional community houses for other at-risk student groups is a likely second phase to this project. The project is "Building Community Houses for Refugee Students at Campus." It was about building a community house for refugees that continue their education to university level. Upon approval from the head of centre, our project manager agreed to this project under certain conditions. This approval was a good start for us to run this project, and we thought this project was an opportunity as it is parallel with our final project subject. It gives a clear signal that the project that we take must be related to the real implementation. Building community houses is not just a voice, but it must have a clear picture and good planning before we start to run it.
