ikon.5 architects and Embry-Riddle Win ACUI Facility Design Award for Student Union

ikon.5 architects Principal Arvind Tikku and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Randy Howard accepted a Facility Design Award for the Mori Hosseini Student Union at the Association of College Union International’s Annual Conference in Indianapolis.

The Student Union is an aeronautical athenaeum combining social learning spaces, events, dining, and the university library. A soaring, triple-height commons anchors and integrates the collaborative social and learning interiors. Wrapping this space are lounges, dining venues, group study rooms, clubs and organizations, career services, university library, and an event center.

ACUI's mission is to support its members in the development of community through education, advocacy, and the delivery of services. The ACUI Awards are bestowed upon five projects annually and encourage excellence in the design of student-centered facilities that support campus community building and student learning.
