About the Brody Learning Commons  

Next June, Johns Hopkins University will begin construction on a new library facility adjacent to the Milton S. Eisenhower Library on the Homewood campus. The building will be built for technology-driven, collaborative learning and named the Brody Learning Commons to honor former president William R. Brody and his wife, Wendy.

The new building will be a place that reflects the social way in which today's students and faculty learn, teach, network, and interact.

Features include:

• Ample natural light
  
  
• A robust wireless network throughout the building
  
  
• Spaces for teaching, learning, and collaboration
  • Group study rooms
  • Reading rooms
  • Seminar rooms
  • Technology laboratories
    
    
• Space for student-created and student-curated art exhibits
  
  
• A new café
  
  
• Space for the Rare Books and Manuscripts Department and the Department of Preservation and Conservation
