CORT Case Study: Carleton College

With outdated furniture and a new school year quickly approaching, Carleton College wanted to update faculty housing furnishings to mirror the college’s high-quality education and reputation.

More than 30 years ago, Carleton College established a faculty housing program so new faculty and visiting professors could easily acclimate to campus life and focus on their teachings. With 37 faculty rental units available, the housing program includes a variety of floor plans with both partially or fully furnished housing options to accommodate each faculty member’s needs. While the faculty housing program is an invaluable program for those newly entering into the college, the fully furnished rental units were fitted with outdated furniture and accessories that didn’t mirror the college’s high-quality education and reputation.
