Augustana College was in need of a central location to welcome students, serve as a center for financial aid assimilation, and help both staff and students in the admissions process. At about 24,000 square feet, this state-of-the-art student center will act as a gateway to everything students may need, from textbooks, meeting centers and recruiting help.
Standing at three stories, the building will be full of resources for both staff and students. The main floor will serve as a welcome center for all current and prospective students. The second and third floor will feature dozens of admissions and financial aid offices, giving staff the space they need for recruiting.
The center will also showcase numerous multi-purpose meeting rooms, each fit with presentation spaces, as well a large board room for meeting with prospective students and parents. On top of it all, the center will contain a large bookstore to help students prepare for upcoming semesters.
How do we create a versatile space fit for both students and staff together?
We designed a flexible and central space filled to the brim with resources, offices, and hands-on meeting spaces to provide students and staff with a welcoming location fit for their individual needs.
Since the classes, labs, and greenhouse spaces were scattered throughout the campus, there were no central offices, classrooms designed for other disciplines, or collaborative spaces for students. This made sharing ideas, materials, and information difficult.
The unique shape of these mid-century marvels makes them signature buildings on the NIU campus, but the dated interiors scared off students. A complete remodel helped breathe new life into the 13-story building, while still honoring the character.
The brand new David J. and Debra C. Rathje Athletic Center is the latest transformation on Millikin's campus. The new 17,655 s.f. facility provides much-needed physical support to the University's growing student-athlete population.
