The design of Shriver Hall on the Homewood campus of Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins University marked a turning point for the firm. Completed in 1954, this Georgian-inspired building launched the firm’s work in higher education. The architects went on to design the Milton S. Eisenhower Library at Johns Hopkins, named for the university’s eighth president and brother of President Dwight Eisenhower, at the center of the Homewood campus. Only two of the library’s six stories project above ground, but the design of the 1964 building enables every level to be illuminated by natural light. In 1975, Meyer, Ayers, Saint won a national AIA honor award for the Loyola Notre Dame Library, which still serves Loyola University and the College of Notre Dame of Maryland.
