The Student Success District at the University of Arizona is a ground-breaking addition to the University’s urban fabric.

Designed by The Miller Hull Partnership in association with Local Architect Poster Mirto McDonald, the complex project redefines and revitalizes the Main Library and the Bear Down Gymnasium, reorients the entry to the Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library, and merges them with a new 55,000 SF Center for Academic Success.

The design strengthens connections between new and existing structures, activates underutilized spaces both indoors and out, and provides moments for student engagement.

In renovating the three existing buildings, Miller Hull developed a concept based on creating connections, increasing porosity, and embracing diverse, flexible, and technology-rich spaces.

In this spirit, the design team introduced both indoor and outdoor study areas in a student-centric, unifying character.

The District provides room for tutoring, active learning, hands-on fabrication and research, and a holistic health and fitness area.
