Housing for First Generation college students

This article discusses a housing program for First Generation college students at University of Cincinnati.

 

It's unclear what particular design elements might be helpful to promote the programming component. Seems like dorm-style accommodations, but with spaces for seminar rooms and common gathering space.

Other insights or experience out there?
