A gateway to academic collaboration and social gathering, members of the campus community are brought together in an environment that supports the spirit of fellowship. A glass façade advocates connectivity between the Center and Student Life Quad, promoting the building as an inclusive space.
The Wellness Center provides a place for students and community members to congregate, play, and stay fit. The building is one of the most significant structures on campus. It promotes physical well-being and vitality, enhancing the quality of student life while providing a resource that is enjoyed by city residents.
Anchoring the university’s main entrance, the Student Life Center is a signature building for the campus. Creating a new hub for student life and interaction that did not previously exist, the facility represents the university’s aspirations to strengthen school spirit, and foster a unique student culture. Part of the newly-conceived Student Life Quad, the center is a place students can call their own; a venue to socialize and hold events.
