Roj Student Center

The Roj Student Center consists of an addition and substantial renovation to the former Decker College Center while tying in elements of the attached buildings to create a comprehensive new student center experience. The $11M renovation included a complete overhaul of “The Pub” dining area as a fast-casual venue to include new fresh food options, expanded dining, and a new student lounge. Also included in the renovation are a new campus store, office suites, a gaming lounge, and more.

Marshall Craft completely changed the energy of the space by highlighting natural light sources and selecting an exciting color palette for furniture and finishes. To ensure a fully cohesive user experience that meets the needs of all stakeholders, the team conducted furniture vendor showroom tours and a student engagement furniture survey to finalize finishes. To maintain the historic integrity of McDaniel’s campus while introducing modern elements in the renovation, materials were carefully curated to create a seamless bridge between the past and the present.
