Our Future Campus Vision

The campus architecture blends modern design with warm, inviting materials, including expansive glass features that allow natural light to fill classrooms, study areas, and student spaces. Academic buildings such as Dreamer Hall, the Student Center, and the Library are intentionally positioned to promote easy navigation, accessibility, and a reduced-stress campus experience, particularly for neurodiverse learners and students with disabilities.

A fully accessible Fitness and Wellness Center is integrated into the campus plan to support physical health, emotional well-being, and lifelong wellness. This space is envisioned to include adaptive fitness options, wellness programming, and inclusive recreational opportunities designed to meet the diverse needs of our student community.

A peaceful waterway and landscaped walking paths flow throughout the campus, offering quiet spaces for reflection and sensory balance. For safety and accessibility, the river is designed to be approximately one foot deep and will feature a fast-drain release valve to allow for rapid water removal if needed. Pedestrian bridges and wide, accessible walkways ensure seamless movement between academic, residential, and community spaces.

The Living the Dream University campus is envisioned as more than a place of instruction. It is a place of possibility, purpose, and empowerment. Every element of the design reflects our mission to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to learn, grow, and live their dreams.

Campus design, features, and layout are conceptual and subject to change.

Theater

Living the Dream University’s future theater complex will feature one main grand theater and two smaller theaters, designed to support education, creativity, and community engagement. The main theater will serve as a central venue for commencements, large lectures, performances, and major university events, offering a professional and immersive experience. The two smaller theaters will provide more intimate, flexible spaces for student productions, film screenings, workshops, and guest speakers. Together, these theaters will create a dynamic environment that encourages collaboration and artistic expression. The complex will bridge academic learning with performance and storytelling. This space reflects LTDU’s commitment to giving every dream a stage.

Dreamer Hall 

Dreamer Hall is the academic heart of Living the Dream University and home to all of our colleges. Each floor is dedicated to a specific college and includes faculty offices, lecture halls, laboratories, classrooms, and multiple study areas designed to support learning and collaboration. Dreamer Hall houses the Somnium College of Business & Entrepreneurship, the Newsom College of Behavioral & Social Sciences, the Jones-Martorell College of Communication and Education, and the Reveris College of Photography & Visual Arts, bringing all academic disciplines together in one central, student-focused space.

Library

The Living the Dream University Library is a modern, light-filled learning hub designed to support focus, collaboration, and innovation. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural light and calming views, creating an inviting atmosphere for students at all hours of the day. The multi-level layout features open reading areas, technology-rich computer stations, and comfortable seating for individual study. Private study rooms offer quiet, distraction-free spaces for small groups or independent work. Warm wood accents and university colors are integrated throughout the design to balance professionalism with comfort. Together, these elements make the library a central academic resource that encourages learning, accessibility, and student success.

Student Center

The Student Center is the heart of campus life, designed to support connection, independence, and student success, with an open-concept cafeteria that offers flexible seating, natural light, and a welcoming space for students to dine and socialize. Administrative and Student Services offices are centrally located to provide easy access to advising and campus support, while the Department of Behavior features calm, professional spaces for consultation, collaboration, and student-centered services. Comfortable seating areas throughout the building encourage studying, gathering, and community engagement, and a bright, enclosed skybridge connects the Student Center to the residence halls, creating a seamless transition between living and learning spaces.

Dorms 

Living the Dream University dorms are designed to reflect a modern, professional, and welcoming residential experience that supports both independence and community. Each space features clean architectural lines, natural wood finishes, and a calm color palette inspired by the LTDU campus to create a fresh, never-lived-in feel. Private and shared rooms are thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort, functionality, and accessibility for all students. Common areas encourage connection and collaboration through open layouts, contemporary furnishings, and integrated study zones. Quiet study spaces are seamlessly incorporated to support academic focus while remaining visually connected to the living environment. Together, the dorms embody LTDU’s commitment to creating spaces where students can live, learn, and dream with confidence.
