University of Miami, Student Activity Center
This exciting new building was designed to provide a facility to meet the needs of today’s students and the University community while providing a signature building on campus.
Before this facility, there was not a main intersection point for students and the campus community. Now this building serves as the center of student life.

A Cornerstone of Campus Social Life
This student life hub is the main gathering point from all sides of campus as it provides space for students to study, socialize, and engage. The facility layout and amenities were carefully planned to naturally facilitate a social atmosphere.
Spaces include meeting rooms, a ballroom, a programming space, a student organization center, a student media center, a student services center, and lounges as well as additional social spaces.
This project was designed in collaboration with Arquitectonica.
In addition, the building includes a new Rathskeller and landscaped patio area facing Lake Osceola.
LEED Silver Certified Building
Affirming the University’s commitment to sustainability, this project has achieved LEED Silver Certification from the United States Green Building Council.
