The Welcome Center for the Rutgers University-Camden Campus houses the Office of Admissions within an existing 2,600 SF white boxed store-front space on the lobby floor of the student housing building at 330 Cooper Street. The completed design provides a dynamic yet flexible space as an impressive introduction for visitors & prospective students to the university & the city while also accommodating the Admissions Department’s operational requirements for the Center.

Designed for an open and transparent feeling, the Welcome Center displays the Rutgers–Camden identity in as many ways as possible, such as the school colors, imagery, and special objects: relevant artworks, historic artifacts, and other items that reflect both the University and the City of Camden, especially the historic district where 330 Cooper is located.

With regard to sustainable design, the project is designed to the standards of LEED Silver.
