Fordham University’s latest addition is the McShane Campus Center, a 170,000-square-foot facility consolidating the school’s fitness and student leisure programs into a single facility. Designed by HLW, the project stitches together three previously existing buildings through the addition of two glass arcade corridors and a new entrance facing the campus quad. This new street-facing elevation was designed to complement Fordham’s collegiate gothic architecture and is clad in Fordham Gneiss, a banded metamorphic rock that was used to construct many of the institution’s historic structures.
