Johns Hopkins Student Center

EXISTING SITE — The site is located on the hill of the Grove, next to the existing Homewood campus Beach at the main gateway between the City and the Campus.

INDOOR LANDSCAPE — The indoor landscape - as vast as the 'Beach' next door - negotiates the grade of the site to allow direct entry from all four levels, while maintaining a friendly human scale.

GATHERING SPACES — A true Village of student life, the student center is comprised of an array of spaces, including art studios, a music rehearsal room, a state-of-the-art performance space, job fairs, and a student engagement hub.

PROGRAM DISPLAY — The porosity and transparency of the student center places its activities and school spirit on display, expressing an ever-changing mosaic of the student body.

SITE CONNECTIONS — The building is rotated to align with the historic Merrick Barn next door and improve site connectivity for greater pedestrian flows.

CAMPUS LIVING ROOM — All spaces connect back to the Campus Living Room, an inclusive melting pot for student life, and a crossroad for campus connectivity.

THE VILLAGE — The Village is a vision for the new Hopkins Student Center, a physical expression of the student body diversity, and a welcoming new beacon for both Campus and Community.
