McIntosh Student Center

The Millicent McIntosh Student Center at Bernard Collage was a structure with a rather barren plaza over two dark, subterranean floors that housed a dining hall and facilities for student activities. Aside from using space very inefficiently, it was butt-ugly. As the beginning of a significant campus redesign in 2007, the school decided to replace this piece of '60s modernist dreck with a six-story multi-purpose building providing a more spacious, inviting environment for students and a more embracing facade toward Broadway.
