The Brewhouse

Arch Engineering STL is pleased to design a new dining and entertainment option on campus – The Brewhouse. The Brewhouse will be located on the southwest corner of the half-acre plot of land between Oliver Hall and Hermann Stadium. The goal of this project is to provide students with more dining options and social areas to study and gather with friends. Saint Louis University (SLU) has nearly 13,000 students and only ten restaurants located on the main North Campus. On the east side of Grand Boulevard on North Campus, students have even less dining options available which are consistently crowded. There are over ten academic buildings in this area, but less than five dining locations in this area. With the addition of The Brewhouse, students will be able to enjoy caffeinated drinks and food in a new social space. Additionally, the project site is located next to Hermann Stadium and in close proximity to Chaifetz Arena, two athletic attractions that will bring many fans to campus and increase the number of customers to The Brewhouse. 


Arch Engineering STL considered three alternatives and finalized the design that best fit our client’s requirements. The design of The Brewhouse considered many different aspects including the structural integrity of the building, the foundation, hydraulic design, transportation travel demand, and the civil site plans. The team created a schedule and cost estimate for the design and construction process to finalize the plans of The Brewhouse.
