Clark University Alumni and Student Engagement Center

Located on Main Street just across from the main gate, the Alumni and Student Engagement Center is a signature building for Clark University: a place where alumni reconnect with each other and their alma mater, and a home for alumni, faculty and outside partners to share their expertise and provide career mentorship to its students.

Topped with a solar canopy supported atop architecturally exposed structural steel columns fitted with CAST CONNEX^® Universal Pin Connectors™ + Architectural Tapers™, the innovative new Clark University Alumni and Student Engagement Center transforms the Main Street block facing iconic Jonas Clark Hall, reframing the experience. A new campus entry terrace and park diagonally links the main campus green with University Park, providing a continuous greenway that unifies the campus and will serve as a catalyst for further improvements to the Main South area.

Designed in concept to generate 50% of its estimated annual power needs from a rooftop photovoltaic array and the remaining 50% from photovoltaic canopies on the adjacent parking lot, Clark’s new building has the potential to achieve zero-net energy performance.
