Student Union Expansion and Renovation

This project consisted of a 32,794 square-foot expansion and renovation at the University of Central Florida’s Student Union. Known as the “Heart of Campus”, the Orlando Campus Student Union now features a new, second-floor common space with ample seating and a Starbucks storefront for students and university staff to enjoy. A third-floor space was added and offers offices and a Senate Chamber for the Student Government Association. The first floor was also expanded and renovated to offer additional dining space and food options, including Steak & Shake, Huey Magoo’s, Panda Express, Whichwich, and Qdoba. Phase 1 and 2 of the Student Union Renovation and Expansion project relocated the back-of-house dishwasher and completely renovated the existing food court to create five new food service venues. This portion of the facility opened first, followed by the Phase 3 and 4 building expansion.
