The Roj Student Center is the center of student life at McDaniel College. The facility houses multiple food service venues, the campus store, a pool, several meeting rooms, office suites, a game room, and more. Addressing deferred maintenance and structural issues, the addition and renovation exposes and frames the signature hillside view while creating interior and exterior spaces for McDaniel’s students, faculty, and visitors to gather, study, collaborate, feast, and socialize. The highly integrated interior design creates intimate individual spaces for a variety of functions while maintaining visual connectivity throughout the open volume and out to the hillside view. Through a purposeful selection of materials and colors, the architect tied new areas together with unrenovated areas and balanced the historical integrity of McDaniel’s iconic campus with the more modern attributes of the existing building and new addition. To achieve cohesiveness, the adjacent sun porch of Englar Dining Hall was rebuilt to reflect the aesthetic of the new addition, and the new terrace patio and entry stairway complement the remaining original exterior finishes.
