In partnership with SLAM, STW completed a study to provide recommendations and a phasing plan for a renovation and expansion of Transy’s Student Center. The existing facility was built in 1982 and features a gymnasium, natatorium, racquetball courts, common study areas, meeting rooms, a dining hall, kitchen and several office and conference areas.
The new Campus Center includes a 61,500 SF expansion for student life and a new dining facility plus a 20,000 SF renovation of the existing building. The University’s goal is to provide an updated dining, recreational, and communal experience for students. To achieve this, the Campus Center will feature a bookstore, bike repair shop, pool, fitness center, game room, flexible event space, a 400-person dining facility, group study areas, a health services component, and several conversation areas.
