Continuing the creation of neighborhood commons around their campus, Carnegie Mellon University is constructing a new neighborhood commons at the Hamerschlag Hall. The neighborhood commons serve as a gathering place for students to study, host small-scale events, and connect with one another.

The newly built Hamerschlag Hall Commons will foster a community within Carnegie Mellon University and create a place for collaboration and cross-program interactions. The commons will be situated on the existing exterior plaza of the building to encourage student interaction.
