PROPOSTA PARA CRIAÇÃO DE UMA RESIDÊNCIA UNIVERSITÁRIA NO MUNICÍPIO DE NAVIRAÍ-MS

Abstract

In recent years, Brazil has witnessed a significant increase in higher education enrollment, primarily driven by public policies aimed at expanding and democratizing access to both public and private universities. However, after enrollment, students face important challenges. Many students are accepted into institutions located in cities far from their places of origin, leading to logistical and financial difficulties. One of the main challenges these students face is access to housing. The scarcity of adequate and affordable housing options directly impacts students' quality of life, compromising their well-being and, consequently, their academic performance. In light of this scenario, the present study aims to develop a university residence project in Naviraí, Mato Grosso do Sul, to meet the housing demand of local students. The methodology used in this study included a literature review, analysis of similar cases, location diagnosis, housing demand research, development of the program of needs, and the definition of the architectural concept and project approach. As a result, an architectural design for the university residence was developed, aiming to provide an efficient and accessible solution for students in the city.
