San Martin Center
Completed in 2005, the center is a 523-space parking garage
topped by a two-story 46,000-square-foot office building.
The office floors remain as shell space until a university
tenant is identified.
The center and the adjacent
Maxine F. Singer Building were
designed by Zimmer, Gunsul, Frasca Partnership of
Washington. Construction started in 2003. The garage is
brick with precast concrete trim, while the building atop
it is aluminum, glass and brick, also trimmed in precast
concrete.
A pedestrian bridge spanning San Martin Drive links the
center to the main campus, connecting with a sidewalk on
the west side of the
Johns Hopkins Club.
The San Martin Center-Singer Building complex sits in the
Stoney Run valley below San Martin Drive on the western
edge of the Homewood campus, on the footprint of what was
previously a surface parking lot. The project included the
transformation of an excavated depression back to a close
approximation of the original gentle sloping down from the
campus and San Martin Drive into the stream valley. The
addition of green space and trees slows the runoff of storm
water into Stoney Run.
