In conjunction with the campus master plan developed by ASG, Johns Hopkins University identified the need and opportunity to create a mixed-use development in the adjacent Charles Village neighborhood. Hopkins selected the College Town Development Alliance, which includes developers Capstone Development and Streuver Bros. Eccles & Rouse and architects ASG and Design Collective.

The anchor for the project is a 25,000 gsf bookstore with additional retail, a dining facility, and student housing. The development is across a boulevard from the main campus. Students will enter from the street and cross a bridge between two buildings to access the dining hall. Student amenity space is planned for the housing lobby and top floor.

Working in association with Design Collective, ASG was responsible for the master plan, community approval, and the exterior design.
