Student Union Expansion

Enhancing gathering places

Building Information

The project will include renovation of the existing 32,649 gross-square-foot (GSF) Student Union and an approximately 68,000 GSF expansion on Lot 10 to the east of the existing building on the Polytechnic campus.

This renovation and expansion will improve student community interaction on campus by enhancing a popular gathering place for studying, dining, entertainment, leisure and meetings. It will expand food service and dining facilities; provide additional offices, lounge, meeting and storage spaces for student organizations and clubs; update the campus store; and add exterior event and seating space, as well as classrooms and office space for departments that provide student support and new programs at the Polytechnic campus.

This project will renovate the ground floor of the existing building to accommodate the demand for more student services and additional common areas. It will include lounges, meeting spaces, event space, dining options and open seating as well as spaces for student services and outdoor amenity spaces, which will be expanded to enhance the student experience.

The expansion will include the design and construction of all building systems that coordinate with the existing Student Union as well as existing campus site infrastructure and utilities, including the existing chilled and hot water system.
