SDSU University Bookstore
Project Overview
Inviting updated bookstore design
The SDSU University Bookstore within the Student Union exudes a warm and inviting setting visible from the “main street” of the Union. Thoughtfully crafted store fixtures, custom casework, and furniture improve the display area while showcasing the updated style of both the Bookstore and the Union as a whole. The south wall of the bookstore was opened up to bring in natural light and create visual and physical connections with the surrounding campus.
Large windows now provide daylight and inviting views from inside the store, enhancing the shopping experience and encouraging interaction with passersby outside. The entrance wall features expansive glazing, offering the store and its merchandise enhanced visibility and openness, while creating a modern, welcoming atmosphere. The redesign garnered recognition in retail design publications, celebrating its innovative approach to blending functionality with aesthetics. Additionally, the design for the integrated Apple Store originally within was featured in Apple marketing materials, showcasing its sleek, tech-forward appeal.
