New Centre for Student Life Re-integrates Campus, City

Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects (GSAA), have just finished work on a new Student Center for Cleveland State University in downtown Cleveland. Working with firm Braun & Steidl Architects, GSAA has designed a contemporary structure to give a new sense of place to the university–and reconnect the university to the city of Cleveland.

Marking the start of the second phase of CSU’s master plan to reorient its campus, the 138,000-square-foot center is designed to enhance the campus’ urban profile. Fronting on Euclid Avenue, downtown’s main commercial thoroughfare, GSAA’s center should function as a public gateway, creating an open link with the surrounding city while offering a wide range of services to students and faculty.
