The design team of Omni Architects and the Atlanta office of Perkins + Will has been awarded the expansion and renovation of the University of Kentucky Student Center.
Originally constructed in 1938 and expanded in 1963 and 1982, the Student Center is again experiencing a space crunch and no longer able to fully meet the needs of students, faculty, staff and other constituents. The Student Center, which has been celebrating its 75th anniversary, hosts nearly 2 million visitors a year. Its renovation and expansion is part of an overall plan to enhance student life across campus ? a plan that is further necessitated by an ambitious housing revitalization. Among the improvements planned for the Student Center are updated student activity and study spaces; dining and retail operations; parking; bookstore and other amenities in support of student success.
