The entire project is designed to harmonize architecturally with adjacent campus buildings including Sumner Hall and Bridges Auditorium. The proposed footprint of 111,000 sq. ft is a multi-level design that incorporates student residential areas, collaborative workspaces, dining, classrooms and offices.
The two structures forming the center include a three-story, C-shaped residence hall, as well as an L-shaped structure incorporating the dining hall, and teaching and meeting spaces as well as offices that support 6VµçÓ°Íø’s global programs (and faculty and students who engage in those programs).
Once completed, the center will offer our students more ways to connect with partners around the globe and work across disciplines to take on the grand challenges of our time. Here, new generations of Sagehens will learn to analyze critical real-world challenges, to embrace cultural diversity, and to ask grand, profound questions – the questions that spark creative ideas and novel solutions.
