The Healey Family Student Center at Georgetown Universityis an interior renovation that transforms a portion of anexisting mid century residence hall (New South ResidenceHall) into a vibrant new university living room forundergraduate life. Inspired by the unique ‘Hoya Saxa’(stones) identity of the Georgetown University student body,the center creates an experience of study and casual livingspaces carved out of interior and exterior stone edifices.These stone (saxa) edifices are the metaphorical stonefoundations on which this University was founded. RiversideTerrace is an outdoor landscaped area that extends the livingspace of the Great Lounge outdoors and overlooks thePotomac River. The overall character and themes of each ofthe program spaces evoke the proud heritage of theUniversity in a contemporary and modern architecturallanguage that builds on the ‘Hoya Saxa’ identity ofGeorgetown.

The student center is designed to achieve a LEED Gold certification from USGBC. Somedesign strategies that contribute to this certification include:
• Exterior custom bronze solar screen designed and constructed to permit unobstructedviews of the Potomac River without solar gain
• A 200 foot long skylight in the middle of the existing building to bring natural daylight tothe center of the spaces. This allows the artificial lights to be turned off during the day
• Photo optic daylight dimming automatically controls the lighting levels depending onnatural light entering the space
• Exterior stone was quarried locally in Maryland
• Interior wood finishes from recycled barns
• Recycled blue and gray glass chips in the terrazzo
• Stone clad ‘Saxa’ living green wall provides a natural bio-friendly character andatmosphere to the Great Lounge
• Low water consumption toilet fixtures and kitchen fixtures in the smoothie café
• Trash is separated into composted materials, paper, aluminum & glass waste
