The University envisions to breathe new life into the Student Union Information Center. By repositioning the Information Center into a more prominent location within the Student Union Building and rethinking the design to enhance both its visual presence and campus community access.

Rich with the character of pure modern architecture, the building is both a figurative and literal beacon at the heart of campus. The elegant yet simplified forms and lines of the glass curtain walls, minimalist columns. coffered ceilings and concrete balustrade act in concert to create a modern yet inviting atmosphere.

In order to preserve the strong character of the building, we have conceptualized a new information center which draws it’s clues from the existing elements of the building and materials.

This scheme proposes introduce a spline geometry offering a refreshing contrast to the sharp Euclidean geometry existing elsewhere in the building.

Also inspiring this design is the art installation found directly above the existing Information Desk. The offset fabric clad panels are arranged in an interesting pattern which creates a series of shadow lines upon the field of panels. Applying this concept to the front face of the main counter, the proposed pattering offers and greater variation of offsets. These panels will also be clad or fabricated in a rustic metal tone in order to blend with the proposed furniture.
