Student Central, Bunker Hill Community College
Boston, Massachusetts
Student Central, formerly known as the Building B lobby, is the main entry point to the entire campus. This renovation creates a modern sense of place that greets students, staff and visitors as they enter the campus. A new café and lounge space with a variety of seating options creates a social space for students to gather. A variety of study spaces serve varying student needs from private study rooms to an open seating space for group work. The main “welcome desk” is designed to handle surges in demand. It may be properly staffed with just one person, but it is capable of handling surges of up to 14 staff members during peak periods.
Self-service kiosks, charging stations, touchdown work counters, and a media wall for announcements create an environment focused on the needs of a student body that is hard working, fast-paced, and eager to resolve issues on their own and quickly if possible.
Administration service spaces are designed to be adjacent, connected, but controlled to provide quick access for issue resolution.
