Abstract

Education is a right guaranteed by Brazilian law, and must be exercised by all citizens. Nevertheless, it is known that many people are unable to study, especially a college, due to the fact that it is often necessary to stop working, move from city, state or even country. As housing expenses are one of the largest for a college student, in order to improve the condition of stay in the course, there is the Student Housing, temporary housing provided by the university. This study aims to carry out a new student housing project for UFGD, to present the advantages of using containers in the construction industry, to analyze the need for a new housing and to evaluate the acceptance and knowledge of students and residents of UFGD. Student housing regarding this type of construction through questionnaires. The results showed that there is a need for a new unit of student housing, considering the growth of the university since its creation and compared to other institutions. Moreover, through the questionnaires it can be seen that misinformation is one of the barriers for this constructive system to be more used. Thus, the questionnaire was applied in order to analyze the acceptance and inform the academics about container construction, and this happened successfully, since at the end of it, most students claimed that they would live in a container house.
