Luther Student Center
Luther Student Center reinforces Lake Land College’s commitment to access and student success, creates new front door to campus
The 19,000-square-foot expansion and 26,000-square-foot modernization of the Luther Student Center combine Admissions, Student Services, and Student Life functions into a new one-stop center that creates a strong first impression and eases navigation.
The central circulation space greets prospective students with a two-story-high open lobby space and welcome desk, computer lab, restrooms, and expanded student gathering space. The link between the addition and the existing building accommodates student life space for foodservice and dining, as well as an informal tiered seating area for student gathering.
