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.

Construction Site Update
It's springtime and the South Building site is a beehive of activity.
With deep foundation work completed in February, work continues across the lower levels, which house the building network center and other mechanical spaces (the raised slab on left). Image courtesy of Douglas Miller.
In early April, the second crane (right) was erected and its control cab lifted into place. The two cranes move material, assist with pouring concrete, and facilitate other structural work. The team will be bringing up the full structure, level by level, now through the end of 2025. Image courtesy of Douglas Miller.
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.
