University Center Complex - Stevens Institute of Technology

Impact

The University Center Complex will revitalize Castle Point for the entire Stevens community. With a design that accentuates stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, the university center will become the heart of campus life, while the residential towers will signal the rise of Stevens to millions in the metropolitan region.

Surging Demand

Interest in Stevens is surging, with the number of freshmen applications setting a record for each of the past six years. New housing and a university center full of amenities meet a strategic vision for creating a first-rate campus that attracts talented students.

Transformational

Packed into just 55 acres, Stevens must build smartly. The University Center Complex will make the campus feel and function larger than its boundaries suggest.

University Center

Throughout 70,000 square feet, the university center will benefit students, faculty and alumni in numerous ways.

Student Experience

By creating spaces for student clubs and activities, such as fitness, gaming, dining and more, the university center will provide an enriched collegiate experience.

Event Venues

With versatile event venues, Stevens will be able to showcase its innovation and entrepreneurship to visitors from academia, industry and government, furthering the university’s impact and prestige.

Student Housing

Living on campus will give students a memorable experience and foster stronger ties to their alma mater. The north residence has been named the Harries Residential Tower in honor of Richard Harries ’58, who along with his wife, Carol, has made a most generous bequest for his beloved Stevens.

Campus Connections

With combined room for 1,000, the towers will relocate students from off-campus housing. Living on Castle Point without a commute, students will have more time for academics and extracurricular activities.

Suite Views

Every day, students will wake up to inspiring skyline views – and irresistible settings for them to snap and share countless pics that showcase Castle Point.

Going Green

With a featured plaza, plus several patios and terraces, the university center will create scenic outdoor spaces for events and other socializing.
