International Student Pavilion 

The NAU International Pavilion is a 10,000 SF multi-purpose performance venue, classroom and student activity facility to foster engagement between cultures at NAU. The project was completed in the Fall of 2015 and was the first LEED Platinum building in Arizona Universities. The building acts as an educational facility to celebrate sustainable design and cultural diversity and to reflect the NAU Center for International Education mission of “cultural engagement, connection and diversity”. From the beginning, our goal was to design an essential space for the growing number of international students on NAU’s campus by keeping the entire facility “Student Centered” as well as building on NAU’s prominence as a top choice for international students. Taking advantage of the high traffic location, the new building creates an irresistible connection destination along the pedway to hang out, play, study and retreat from the daily pressures of academic life.
