Designed for students. Connecting us all.
The wait is almost over. In August 2025, the Hopkins Student Center will open its doors—and open up new possibilities for students to socialize, connect, create, and relax. But this is more than a building. It’s a place designed for connection, creativity, and community. An invitation to all Blue Jays to find their people and find their place.
Stay tuned for opening day announcements, early access opportunities, and ways to make the space your own.
Gather
Meet with friends, enjoy a meal, hang out in the lounges—the Student Center is a place to connect with others.
Create
