Homewood Campus Tour

Ground was broken for the Steven Muller Building on August 18, 1981, and it was dedicated on June 15, 1983. Designed by Verkerke, Boyles, and Linehan, the building contains the Space Telescope Science Institute, which was set up by NASA and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy to analyze data from the Hubble Space Telescope. One of the more interesting things about the building is the fact that the heat generated by the institute's many computers is used to heat the building in the winter. Two wings were added to the building in 1987-88, nearly doubling its size. On June 18, 1990, the building was named after Steven Muller, the University's tenth president, who was instrumental in bringing the Institute to Hopkins.
