Poject Details

This 36,632-square-foot building brings activities previously spread throughout the campus under one roof. The building houses a 500-seat theater, student lounge areas, a cafeteria, a bookstore, classrooms, student government and student newspaper offices and a game room. The building serves as the central meeting place and social hub for students and faculty. The rooftop lantern is designed to bring daylight into the central gathering space during the day, and become a welcoming beacon at night.
