April 21, 2009,
University of Evansville is one of five campuses to receive
the ACUI Facility Design Award of Excellence.
April 21, 2009 (Anaheim,
Calif.) — The Facility Design Awards recognize
excellence in design of college unions as well as other
student-centered campus buildings. Entries were judged
not only on the basis of the facilities’ appearance, but
also on the process used to arrive at the design and how
the new or renovated facility affected the campus.
Mackey Mitchell was able to provide the University of
Evansville (Ind.) with the 92,000-sq.-ft. Ridgway
University Center, built to LEED-Silver
specifications, which provided a “living room” for a
campus very much in need. The building offers dining
facilities, bookstore, conference rooms, counseling
center, lounge, radio station, student publications, and
a flexible ballroom.
“We were thrilled to be among the winners of ACUI’s
Facility Design Awards this year,” said John Burse,
principal, Mackey Mitchell. “It is especially meaningful
to receive an award from an organization dedicated to
the constant improvement of college unions nationwide.
Students and faculty have expressed how much the Ridgway
University Center has contributed to student life on the
University of Evansville campus. ACUI’s recognition also
serves to confirm the success of the new center.”
