Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Mori Hosseini Student Union
Daytona Beach, Florida
Design Team: ikon.5 architects (Architect); Parker Mynchenberg & Associates, Inc. (Civil); Thornton Tomasetti (Structural); OCI engineers (MEP/F); Prosser, Inc. (Landscape Architect)
Inspired by the gracefulness of birds in flight, the student union building at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is an expression of its mission to teach the science, practice and business of aviation and aerospace. Situated at the front door to the campus, the building’s gently soaring form expresses flight and creates an iconic identity. The facility embodies students’ values of fearlessness, adventure and discovery.
Internally, the student union building is an aeronautical athenaeum that combines social learning spaces, events, dining and the university library. A soaring, triple-height commons anchors and integrates the collaborative social and learning interiors. Wrapping this space and open to it are lounges, dining venues, group study rooms, clubs and organizations, career services and the university library as well as an event center, creating a virtual “city within a city.”
