Trevecca Nazarene University, Jernigan Student Center
Nashville, Tennessee
The expansions and renovations of the Trevecca Nazarene University Jernigan Student Center rejuvenate a structure in the heart of campus. The three-story center previously included a 322-seat cafeteria, grill, administrative offices and conference spaces, a bookstore, a formal Presidential Dining Room and the campus mail room, along with student gaming and entertainment spaces.
The building now contains the university’s spirit store, a high-end expanded kitchen, a larger dining room seating over 450, a cafe and marketplace directly adjacent to an outdoor plaza, a new office suite housing student government and diversity council programs, and flexible student lounge spaces. Upgrading an existing monumental stair enhances the user experience while maintaining connection between floors.
The balcony of the third floor sits within the two-story volume of the main dining room, creating a visual connection between the spaces. Improvements to the president’s dining room, expanded restrooms, new finishes, lighting and furniture re-energize the building as the center for student experience at the university.
