WELCOME CENTER

The prominence and importance of the welcome center offers an exceptional naming opportunity. This facility will be a major hub for campus activity and will have the distinction of being an area that nearly every K-State student and their family members will visit over the course of their college experience. The excitement of prospective students and those ready to graduate will give this environment a vitality that few other buildings on campus can match.

Based on current policy, at least 60 percent of the total cost for renovation of an existing facility — 50 percent for construction and 10 percent to the sustaining facility fund, is required for naming recognition. Total construction cost of the welcome center is $18.5 million.

Designed to be comfortable and full of K-State pride, this space will be an often-requested reception space for the campus.

GALLERY

FULL GALLERY GIFTED BY THE ESTATE OF WAYNE McINTOSH The gallery that connects the welcome hall to the Career and Employment Services suite is an important symbolic and functional feature of the structure. The design has allowed for a literal and figurative “connection” between the beginning of a K-State experience to transitioning into one’s career. The hallway is the design element that allows us to bring the two points in a student’s educational experience together.

The gallery will highlight the individuals whose legacy and leadership provide examples for prospective and current students, while illustrating the impact a K-State education has on the betterment of society. Located at the entrance of the Welcome Center south tower, the gallery will lead visitors along the expanse of the building intersecting with the north end of the corridor. The north gallery will feature industry partners who invest in our talented graduates and create the career opportunities for the entire K-State family. These two galleries will be visible from the exterior of the building and create the K-State success story!

Full Gallery: $4 millionNorth Gallery: $1.5 millionSouth Gallery: $1.5 million

GREEN ROOF SYSTEM

The renovation of the structure requires a permanent solution for waterproofing the roof. The green roof system is both an attractive and sustainable option to bring K-State to the forefront of building innovation. The current design offers a solution for providing traditional seating (bleachers) and non-traditional (grassy areas) on the stadium stands. Guests who are enjoying a day on campus may sit outside in a green space while waiting for an appointment or campus tour.

Green roof system: $1 million

WELCOME HALL: INTERACTIVE INFORMATION AREA

GIFTED BY THE HUBBARD FAMILY FOUNDATIONThe interactive information area in the welcome hall is envisioned to be a space where guests may access the latest K-State information and customize the information they receive by selecting from options on interactive displays. We plan to have options that allow a guest to transfer information to handheld devices. Imagine creating your own customized campus map based on your individual campus visit schedule and your personal interests. Way finding, academic information, student life and student support services information would be accessible through custom searches. Student profiles could be customized by geography, academic interest, student leadership experience, etc. Guests would have immediate access to games and applications, and could interact with the university through cutting-edge technology before experiencing the “high touch” of a friendly and responsive staff member.

Interactive Information Area: $300,000
