Located at the heart of Miami University's historic campus, this dynamic Student Center serves as a hub of student activity, providing spaces for large events and performances, student organization offices, lounges, study areas, and 24-hour food service. The project combines the renovation of three buildings with new construction to create a single new student center. An inviting central atrium space, sited along a major new “interior street”, creates the core of the new Center.
STRONG CONNECTION TO CAMPUS
Movement through the building is established along an active interior street lined with the most active program elements. The “street” acts as a shortcut through the building to connect a major campus pedestrian pathway. Outdoor gathering spaces offer prominent gathering places near entrances as a transition between the campus and the interior of the building.
