Studio 804

Studio 804

Studio 804 is a graduate level Architecture design Studio developed by Professor Dan Rockhill at the University of Kansas. The course is distinguished from typical studios in that it is a design-build studio in which the students work collaboratively to not only design a project but to actually construct it. The projects the studio considers are typically single family residences, and are targeted towards low-income residents in Lawrence, Kansas and the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. The Studio's most recent project, the [http://www.547artscenter.org/ 5.4.7 Arts Center] in Greensburg, KS, became the first building to be certified LEED Platinum in the state of Kansas.cite web|url=http://www.547artscenter.org/news/5-4-7-arts-center-is-first-leed-platinum-building-in-kansas|publisher=5.4.7 Arts Center|title=5.4.7 Arts Center is First LEED Platinum Building in Kansas!|accessdate=2008-09-28]

The current design focus is toward contemporatry prefabricated designs which allow for easier, cheaper constructions that can be assembled in a shorted time frame that typical housing projects.

The mission of the studio is very similar to that of the famous Rural Studio pioneered by Samuel Mockbee at Auburn University.
