The D'Angelo Center is known to house most of the students on
campus not only in the high-tech classrooms but also in between
classes taking coffee breaks, at night in the seminar rooms
studying or in the campus living room enjoying the company of
classmates, alumni and administrators. The DAC holds St. John’s 180
student clubs and organizations, a full-service cafeteria and a
Starbucks Café. The sunlit lounge features plush seating,
floor-to-ceiling windows and a fireplace.The D’Angelo Center is not
only the largest building on campus, it has also become the place
to be seen in the St. John’s community! |

Through the masterful work of industry leaders Gensler Architecture and FJ
Sciame Construction Company Inc., this state-of-the-art facility
has become a reality. Since its grand opening in 2009, the
four-story, 127,000-square-foot D’Angelo Center has become the most
popular hub of student life on the Queens campus. The entire
building is modeled after the Great Hall at Ellis Island,
reflecting the University’s founding as a metropolitan institution
in service to the children of immigrants of New York City. The
iconic flame, which connects metaphorically to both the eternal
light of knowledge and Christian theology, honors the University as
a beacon of higher learning and its historically Catholic
roots. |
