Student Center Phase: Construction Project Contact: Kurt Stimeling Vendor: QPK The design for the proposed Student Center came from input that was collected from students, staff administrators, faculty, trustees, alumni, and vendors/operators. Site alternatives have been considered, analyzed, and compared; a site has been identified; see the Clarkson University website http://www.clarkson.edu/masterplan. A program of space needs has been generated; many space sizes have been graphically tested and determined. A series of Student Services offices, which would be convenient to locate in the Student Center, have been identified as lower priority than student social and recreational activities, student organizations and food services venues. These offices are to be included in the program, either within the structure or possibly as a complementary, adjacent structure (bridging to the Educational Resource Center (ERC)). The intent is to construct the Student Center with the Student Services offices, or the Student Center and adjacent Student Services offices facility simultaneously. Status: The architect selection committee overwhelmingly selected Perkins & Will Architects to perform the design services for the building, which was subsequently approved by the Board of Trustees. Contract negotiations with Perkins & Will are nearing completion. The early stages of design are being worked on currently, and the actual design process will be in full swing once the students arrive back on campus. Plans are being developed to help students play an active role in the design process. It is anticipated that construction will begin during the late spring of 2009 and project completion will follow 16 months afterwards. |
