College Suites offers off-campus privately owned student apartments for SUNY Brockport, Plattsburgh, Cortland, Schenectady County Community College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Identities That Say It All

This large rebranding project consisted of streamlining five independent student housing products under a single umbrella known as College Suites. In addition to creating a new visual brand, a brand positioning and marketing strategy was developed and implemented. The result was a brand which more completely conveyed not only the amenities but the personality of these student housing communities.

Branding Is At Every Level of the Customer Experience

To further engage the student community with their external surroundings The Foundry for Art Design + Culture was hired to create original artwork that was representative of the city and region. Innovation, education and a rich cultural heritage have always been synonymous with the City of Troy, the beloved ‘Collar City’. These themes were incorporated into the interior design of City Station East and South, with the commission of original murals and artwork. The more notable artworks include murals of the Tomhannock Reservoir, Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, a series of painting of the collars once manufactured in Troy and depictions of Prospect Park which was designed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute alum Garnet Baltimore.
