Carnegie Mellon's University Center Competition was held to select plans for the redevelopment of the east side of the University's campus.
The centerpiece of the competition program was the University Center, a multi-purpose building conceived to serve as a central gathering place, accommodating gathering and meeting spaces, student activity offices, food service facilities, and recreational facilities including a gym and swimming pool. In addition, the program required the inclusion of dormitory space, parking facilities, an athletic field, and a performing arts center. With such a broad mandate, the winning competition entry has evolved into a master plan for a large portion of the campus. The team of Dennis, Clark & Associates/TAMS of Boston submitted the winning entry. Other participants were: Damianos & Associates / Geddes Brecher Qualls Cunningham; Jung/Brannen Associates, Inc.; Koetter, Kim & Associates; Machado & Silvetti Associates; and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (New York).
