Started in summer 2024, SU’s Blackwell Hall is undergoing a significant renovation into a campus hub for student services.
The building will have an expanded footprint to house relocated offices including the SU Counseling Center, Advising Center, Registrar’s Office, Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, Dean of Students Office, and more, centralizing most student support systems on campus.
It also will serve as the new home of the SU Admissions Office, with features including a campus visitors center and gathering space for tours and open houses.
In addition, the facility will become one of the first net-zero buildings in the University System of Maryland, continuing SU’s longstanding commitment to sustainability.
Named for the University’s second president, Dr. Jefferson Blackwell, the current building was constructed in 1957 as the campus’ library, continuing in that capacity until the opening of the Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons in 2016.
