This ambitious project links the McGinley Student Center, Rose Hill Gymnasium, and Lombardi Center into a comprehensive hub for student life, conferences, and events. A modern, all-glass arcade joins these buildings, introducing a contemporary aesthetic to the Collegiate Gothic campus and serving both as a thoroughfare and an event space. The expansion includes a variety of spaces: a lower-level fitness center, a ground-floor student lounge with a retractable movie screen, second-floor offices for campus ministries, and a third-floor event space. The renovation pays homage to the campus’s architectural heritage while injecting modern elements, transforming the center into a vibrant, inclusive venue that unites students, faculty, and visitors alike.
The project integrates the existing structures with a new all-glass arcade, blending traditional Collegiate Gothic with contemporary design.
Features include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a large student lounge, dedicated ministry offices, and multipurpose event spaces.
Strategically located to serve as the campus's nucleus, the expanded student center enhances Fordham's commitment to community, health, and wellness.
