The MSOE Welcome Center, located at the primary crossroads of the MSOE campus, serves as a first point of contact for prospective student families, a touchstone for valued alumni, and a collaboration hub for students. This new, highly visible, facility adds a dynamic and inviting destination space to elevate the campus community.

The Admissions experience starts at the Family Hospitality Lounge, which is connected to private ‘Spirit Rooms’ designed to meet with prospective students and their families. Located immediately adjacent is the large Event Room. Divided by a horizontal air-wall and available for campus and student meetings, the Event Room allows for programming versatility. The Admissions Office, located directly behind these facilities provides staff and support for all MSOE programs. A new logo store, the ‘Raider Shop’, and a large Study Lounge connect it all together. Expansive windows on the exterior façade invite in constant daylight and provide prime views to the highly branded, activated space including a 25-foot video wall, allowing passers by a glimpse into the MSOE experience.
