Panther Commons is a $95M residential & retail development and a vibrant hub in the heart of High Point University’s campus. Near the Qubein Arena & Conference Center, this state-of-the-art hall opened in 2023, offering modern accommodations for upperclassmen & graduate students. The facility includes a variety of living arrangements, including double rooms and single suites, creating a dynamic and engaging environment for students.
The ground floor features retail spaces designed to enhance campus life, providing convenient amenities and fostering a sense of community.
A key highlight is its striking exterior, designed by Stimmel, which serves as both a visual and interactive focal point. The multi-level fountain, featuring an upper and lower basin, showcases a series of programmable jets that rise and fall in synchronized patterns. The fountain’s display, enhanced by LED lighting, brings a stunning show of movement and color, with an added layer of elegance during nighttime operation.
The integration of cutting-edge technology, including wind-sensitive controls and water management systems, ensures that the fountain operates efficiently while maintaining an engaging display that mirrors the vibrancy of campus life.
