NSU Alumni House

Design team
William Gallo (Architect); Alain Dezii (Lead Designer)

The project consists of a three-story facility centralized on the Nova campus across from the main library. The purpose of the project is to create a hub for alumni members to participate, volunteer and provide community support. The program consists of a meet/greet salon, lecture hall, library, dining, resource center, administrative offices, and a rooftop observatory that overlooks the campus. There is a large courtyard for outdoor events and a small amphitheater set on the bank of a retention pond accessible from the courtyard. The main structure is centered on an axis with the library separated by a grass plaza used for public events. The architecture pays homage to the school’s history, rooted in South Florida’s vernacular.

The functions are organized like a large home, with shade trees, gardens and fountains.
