Why a Student Center now?
The Shriver Center is a general campus center that is undersized and outdated for the current and future needs of students and the university:
• Students need a central gathering place on campus to focus and support the 24/7 Miami curricular and co-curricular experience
• Student organizations need office space, conference rooms, and event spaces to meet and to collaborate with other groups
• Students need formal and informal spaces for group meetings and study groups typical of the collaborative learning emphasis in classes
• Students need venues to hold large events on campus
• Miami needs to remain competitive to attract top-tier students – most peer universities have opened new centers recently and present both a functional and symbolic student-centered image to prospective students.

Campus Plan
The Bicentennial Student CenterMay 2009
April 2010
The original design called for the demolition of Culler, Gaskill, and Rowan and the construction of a new 205,000 square foot facility.
The new design integrates Culler, Gaskill, and Rowan and new construction in an imaginative architectural design for a 203,000 square foot facility.

Benefits of New Plan
• Preserves three campus buildings, integrating them into a creative architectural design
• Saves 40% over the construction costs of a completely new building (and demolition of three existing buildings)
• The reuse of buildings and building materials provides the opportunity to achieve sustainability recognition (LEED certification)
• Provides the ability to build the BSC in two phases, delaying the remodel of Culler until the Physics Department is able to move into a remodeled Kreger. Culler will be separated from the new building by a 30 foot fire code-required space until Phase II
