Trinity International University
Waybright Student Life Center

Deerfield, Illinois

Trinity International University comprises Trinity College, Trinity Graduate School, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School on its primary campus located 30 miles north of Chicago. Beginning in the mid-90s, RuckPate has helped this Christian university create and implement its long-range campus master plan to allow campus development to proceed in a logical manner as resources become available, while maintaining numerous diverse facilities.

Construction is currently underway for the Student Life Center, which is planned as an addition and comprehensive renovation to Melton Hall. This new Student Center will become the central focus of the redesigned campus, serving an international, ethnically diverse student population. Students within the building would enjoy planned meals and fellowship throughout the day in a relaxed, inviting environment.

For this project, RuckPate is pleased to be collaborating with WTW Architects of Pittsburgh, PA, a leading design firm specializing in university facilities and student unions. Student Life Center Highlights:

• High-quality Food Service program with bistro-style arrangement
• Dining capacity for 350-450 students
• Future banquet facilities
• Large and small meeting rooms
• Atrium lounge
• Coffee bar
• Future offices for student associations and administration
