The University of Illinois Alumni Association selected BLDD to design a new alumni center for the Urbana-Champaign campus. Public areas include a reception gallery, library, lounge and great room, student areas, and banquet facilities for up to 224 guests. The Center’s offices, conference rooms, and executive board room accommodate the Alumni Association. The spacious gallery and display areas exhibit U of I memorabilia, linking new and prospective students and their families with the traditions of Illinois.  

This facility reflects the U of I’s stature as one of the world’s leading universities with one of the largest alumni membership organizations in the nation.

BLDD Architects stole the show from the minute we met them with their passion for the University of Illinois, and followed through with an award-winning project. Great people, and the result was everything we wanted. I love it!

Built to welcome and endure.

  • Conveniently located on the campus, the Alumni Center is the official welcoming site to visitors.

  • The building is designed to compliment the brick and limestone Georgian architecture predominant on the campus.
    ​

  • Expansive areas of glass and central skylights lend a sense of openness to the structure and the Alumni Patio allows activities to be held outside.

  • Two balconies offer fantastic views of campus life.
