Eckerd Scovanner Pavilion
St. Petersburg, FL, United States
Nestled at the water’s edge of Eckerd College, the Scovanner Pavilion serves as a contemplative yet functional gathering space for students and faculty. Inspired by the campus community’s vision of this area as the "spiritual center" of the college, the pavilion was designed to foster connection—both with nature and with one another.
Constructed entirely of durable white concrete, the pavilion is built to withstand the coastal elements, from salt air to periodic flooding. This resilience ensures its longevity, reinforcing its role as a lasting fixture on campus. A minimalist yet impactful design approach maximizes openness and shade, providing a comfortable outdoor environment that supports Eckerd’s emphasis on experiential learning and outdoor engagement.
The structure features an oculus at its center, drawing light into the space and serving as a subtle homage to the pavilion’s origins as a memorial. Thoughtfully placed columns frame expansive waterfront views, reinforcing a sense of openness while maintaining a sense of shelter. Designed to balance durability, simplicity, and purpose, this project exemplifies architecture as a means of enhancing both function and experience—offering students a place to gather, reflect, and learn for generations to come.
