The Jayhawk Welcome Center addition and renovation project enriches the Jayhawk experience for current students and alumni alike. The Welcome Center serves as a new “front door” to the university’s Lawrence-based campus.
Located immediately north of the existing Adams Alumni Center, the two-story Welcome Center addition features a welcome vestibule, prefunction space, and a partitionable multi-purpose room with the capacity for up to 300 guests. The Adams Alumni Center received major renovations on the first two floors with minor renovations to the third. Connecting the two centers is a two-story bridge filled with interactive exhibits and hospitality spaces.
Special coordination was required for new air handling units located in the basement of the Alumni Center. They will distribute air to the Alumni and Welcome Centers. Our team also provided the electrical and lighting framework and conditioning to support a floor to ceiling LED video board in the main lobby of the welcome center. Throughout the facilities, there are multiple static and digital displays for wayfinding, announcements, and various graphics.
