A new
front door ON THE
horizon
Reimagining S&T’s campus footprint By Velvet Hasner, hasnerv@mst.edu “You have arrived at your destination,” says a chipper robotic voice when you use GPS. Soon the thousands of visitors who explore Missouri S&T each year will know when they’ve reached our campus, thanks to a new Arrival District. The Arrival District will provide something our university has never had: an official campus entrance or “front door” that signals the beginning of the S&T experience. This symbol of arrival will serve as an icon of the university experience and provide a powerful first impression.
Landmarks, green spaces, roads and walkways are all components of the Arrival District. Illustration by Vesa Sammalisto
