Student Union Building Expansion

In the 1970’s we were the architects for a $1 million addition to the original building to house a theatre and associated support facilities.

During the 1990’s, we were the selected architects for a phased project involving the construction of a large addition and the complete renovations of the existing building, meeting a $6 million construction budget.

The addition was organized around a central Main Street, accented by a high galleria with a barrel-vaulted roof. Along this space were food and beverage facilities and other small-scale student-oriented retail outlets. Surrounding the central space were a state-of-the-art nightclub, a flexible multi-purpose room and a student pub. Outdoor patios and plazas provide social and gathering areas and merge the building with the surrounding landscape.

Since completion, we have executed a continuing series of renovations and upgrades as User needs and technology evolve.
