Project Overview:
The Student Success District at the University of Arizona strengthens connections between new and existing structures, activates underutilized spaces both indoors and out, and prioritizes the student experience. This complex project redefines and revitalizes the Main Library and the Bear Down Gymnasium, reorients the entry to the Weaver Science-Engineering Library, and merges them with the new 55,000 SF Bartlett Center for Academic Success. Envisioned as a unified and universally accessible space that broadens the definition of student support, the District brings together the university’s commitment to academic and research excellence, student support, and holistic health and wellness.
