The design of the new Welcome Centre for the University of Windsor establishes a focal point to activate and encourage connections between the university campus and its surrounding community. Welcoming a broad range of visitors for various functions, the two-storey centre offers a comfortable and flexible environment characterized by natural light and generous views of its surroundings.
The building, a dynamic gateway pavilion visible from every angle and accessible from multiple campus routes, serves as the front door and address for the entire university—a beacon for students, faculty, and visitors. Inside, the ribbon-shaped second floor, contained within a semi-transparent glass envelope, offers expansive views of the surrounding campus. Located at the southern edge of campus, at the corner of Wyandotte Street and Patricia Avenue, the 18,000-square-foot building will also house administrative departments for admissions and alumni affairs in a collaborative work setting.
