This fall, Landmark College is expected to break ground on a new space for student activities and other events. Currently known as the Upper Campus Commons, the 17,000 square foot project consists of an addition to the Stone Hall building, outdoor courtyard, and plaza.
Architectural renderings from Fradkin Cooper Architects envision a large, multipurpose room with an attached space for food service, along with three smaller meeting rooms. The plans also incorporate many neuroinclusive design elements with respect to lighting, acoustics, a balance of solitary and social spaces, plus tactile components.
The idea for the Upper Campus Commons originated in listening sessions with students about what kinds of improvements they would like to see on campus. As student clubs and activities continue to expand, both in variety and interest, this building will meet a vital need for campus life.
In considering the development of the Upper Campus Commons, the Landmark College Board of Trustees also endorsed the use of neuroinclusive design principles for all facilities work, both new and in renovations, going forward.
The UCC project should be completed in 2026. Stay tuned for reports on progress.
