Described as a “flexible container that will become a beacon of university life,” the four-story project houses the Student Union and student support teams, along with services other than faculty.
The building features a large social staircase running through its center. Work on the 11,000-square-meter One Elmwood scheme, located in the heart of the campus, began in summer 2020.
