Union on Broadway

Connecting College and Community

Positioned prominently in Eugene’s skyline at the Northwest corner of the University of Oregon campus, Union on Broadway serves as a striking gateway. This modern residence bridges the urban developments of downtown with the varied scales of dormitory life, setting a new standard for off-campus student housing and offering an ideal backdrop for undergraduates transitioning to independent living. Dramatic connections between the interior and exterior are created through various amenities overlooking two vibrant second-floor courtyards. The double-height lobby lounge links the ground-level side yard to the upper courtyards, fostering vertical connections that balance academic pursuits with recreation. Designed by many University of Oregon alumni at Ankrom Moisan, the project reflects their shared experiences, resulting in a cohesive environment tailored to residents' needs. Inspired by the Willamette Valley’s natural features, Union on Broadway features two distinct building masses—one light and one dark—symbolizing the contrasting aspects of life in Eugene. On the west wing, rooftop patio lounges offer panoramic views—one facing north toward the Willamette River, the other south toward Spencer’s Butte. These inviting spaces encourage residents to gather and foster a sense of community in their new home. The design enhances social interaction among residents, with courtyards introducing greenery that connects the building to surrounding neighborhoods. Glazed corridors ensure a bright, open atmosphere filled with windows, promoting community engagement and a connection to the beauty of the landscape.
