The Student Services Building at Anne Arundel Community College was designed to be the gateway to the campus, redefining the college’s architectural identity as that of a modern facility. The design capitalized on the opportunity for the building to become part of a pedestrian circulation pattern that incorporates a circular plaza. The building’s exterior brick, which matches the remainder of the campus buildings, introduces a new color and new building materials to celebrate its nature as a gateway to the campus.
The building contains administrative offices for academic advising, admissions, and records and registration. The facility represents a “one-stop shop” for student services, including financial-services offices and accounts-receivable offices. Computer stations allow students to access records and register for classes online within the new building.
