The Bruce Heavin and Lynda Weinman Alumni Center is designed to span across the middle of the fourth level of ArtCenter’s 1111 South Arroyo parkway building. Situated between views of the city to the east and views of the evolving south campus to the west the new center features a dedicated alumni gallery, conference center and lounge. The spaces, physically and visually connected to the elevator lobby, are flexibly designed to accommodate multiple types of alumni events. The center itself locates each Alum within the campus and within their larger network of peers.

In the Alumni Gallery space a 25’ x 8’ digital touch screen is programmed to contain an interactive virtual alumni gallery encompassing work of distinguished Alumni through the decades and around the globe. The glass curtain wall that separates the conference center and lounge from the elevator lobby has a translucent color screened film with the Alumni Center signage and the iconic ArtCenter ‘dot’. The space also features lighting designed by ArtCenter Alum Scott Yu of Vode Lighting, and furniture designed by ArtCenter Alum Nolen Niu.
