QUEENS COLLEGE STUDENT UNION

Location: Flushing, New York
Architect & Designer: George Ranalli
Project Architect: Mark Dixon
Project Team: Price Harrison, Fran Leadon

The scope of this project was the renovation of Queens College's existing Student Union Building and the design of a 42,000 Sq. Ft. addition.

The renovation of the existing building involved complete programmatic changes to several floors and architectural finishes to several others. The new addition expands existing cafe facilities, creates 12 large rooms for seminars and conferences, and a new 444 seat theater. The new building is designed in limestone with an intricate pattern of panels and fasteners. The upper part of the building is finished in copper with large raised blocks containing glass openings.
