South Building
An Elevated Campus Experience
The new South Building design is guided by four key priorities, which are rooted in our overall strategy for the School. Our new physical space will:
- Foster interdisciplinary, cross-departmental collaborations.
- Enhance our teaching for tomorrow’s learners.
- Provide a door to the community that will naturally extend our partnerships.
- Cultivate a diverse, inclusive, efficient, and sustainable environment.
The new 250,000-square-foot facility will support the Bloomberg School's mission through dynamic workspaces, state-of-the-art classrooms, and a variety of study, collaboration, and event spaces.

Public Health Reimagined
Whether staff, faculty, student, or alumnus,
what does the School's expanded space mean for your work in public health?
Pamela Collins, department chair, Mental Health
"While Hampton House was ‘home’ for so many people and its hallways held memories of student life, career transitions, and personal milestones, we look forward to the simple pleasures of seeing each other under the same roof. Having additional opportunities for collaboration, a chance to welcome our neighbors in the community more easily—the prospects are exciting."
Joanna Cohen, department chair, Health, Behavior and Society
"Our community is eager to be back together in one collective space where face-to-face interaction enhances collaboration, fosters idea co-creation, and strengthens friendships. These in-person interactions are truly invaluable, and South Building is designed to support this with intentional community spaces."
Construction Site Update
The construction team continues to erect the building structure as seen here in early July, looking from the ground north towards Wolfe Street Building.
South Building’s basement level was capped in May, with a goal of topping off the building later this fall.
Public Health Transformed
What new spaces and places will South Building and Wolfe Street offer?
The Forum
Located on Lower Level One, the Forum is a light-filled, collaborative space that can also be used for large gatherings. This view looks from the Forum's south end to the main vertical circulation core and opens into the courtyard shared with the School of Nursing to the west.
The Hub
Located on Level Three, the Hub is the heart of the building and includes a passageway to the Wolfe Street Building bridge. This view looks north into the Hub, with Level Four space above.
