I got involved in the mid-80s through an interview and selection process. The whole thing just went away, but it came back three or four years ago. I was involved not only in the design and oversight, but also with the fundraising.

This building will be the heart of the campus. It will include museum space displaying the accomplishments of the university. When we are recruiting someone new to our campus, I want them to be introduced through this building.

The alumni house is intended to have a trellis crown that will feel like there's a garden on the roof. The vocabulary of the university architecture is becoming contemporary and the alumni house had to fit into that. You're trying to build something somewhat timeless. A lot of buildings on campus are stuck in [the] 60's and don't have legs to move forward.
