Text description provided by the architects. The Campus Commons at the State University of New York, designed by ikon.5 architects, is a steel and glass winter garden addition to an existing 1970 student union building. The Campus Commons is filled and spanned over an existing underutilized exterior courtyard, transforming the exterior space into a vibrant interior university living room. The Campus Commons houses a large space for informal gathering, multi-purpose meeting rooms, food court, student ID offices, bookstore, entertainment center, and meeting rooms. The design creates an inspiring, institutionally functional appearance at the gateway of the university.
