students and visitors to interior spaces.

S

tudent unions are not entirely new structures on
university campuses, but their purpose and design have evolved with changing student demo-

graphics and educational goals.
Student unions as a building type were f irst construct-

ed on university campuses during the late 1950s into the
early 1970s. Before that, student social spaces might have
been the lobby or hallways of administrative or academic
buildings or, for larger gatherings, in auditoriums and recreation centers, according to Jay Smith, AIA, LEED AP,
principal and design director, Duda|Paine, Durham, NC
(dudapaine.com). Those original student-center buildings
are now reaching the end of their life span, he observed.
"These facilities are becoming functionally obsolete from
the standpoint of servicing, infrastructure, technology,
and building-envelop functionality. Historically, their internally focused planning and programming fails to address current student social, academic, and professional
needs."
Expansions of many existing student unions have occurred from the 1970s into the early 2000s, often result-

Left. The design of NC State's Talley Student Union transforms a 1972 facility
into an exciting, interactive, and interdisciplinary hub for student-life experiences and the entire campus community. The iconic Technology Tower-inspired by
research at the university-marks the location of a future pedestrian bridge to
North Campus. All photos: Robert Benson Photography, courtesy Duda|Paine
