Curry Student Center
Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Northeastern University’s John A. and Marcia E. Curry Student Center provides programs, resources and an environment for students to grow and develop well-rounded skills to succeed as contributing citizens and leaders within the campus community and beyond. Jones has been tasked with providing consulting on a number of planning assessments throughout the building and has also seen many of the studies through to design and construction. Among them are the following:
- Off-Campus Student Services (OCSS) Suite: OCSS provides support for students looking to obtain off-campus housing and other resources for commuting undergraduates. The renovation of the space included light touch finish upgrades and furniture selection.
- The Student Government Association’s Senate Chamber: Located on the third floor, the SGA hosts student groups and faculty for large group meetings, banquets, and lectures and debates. The space is equipped with the AV infrastructure to record guest speakers or lecture content for digital storage and distribution.
- The Center for Intercultural Engagement: Located on the first floor, this center consists of a staff area and 2,000 GSF of multi-purpose space which can be partitioned by a folding glass wall to allow for small sensitivity training classes or larger open forum events or banquets.
- The Game Room: An existing block of three conference rooms on the fourth floor were renovated to become a 2,500 GSF game room space for billiards, ping-pong, and gaming.
