Dolphin Design Center

100 Dolphin St, Baltimore, MD 21217

The Dolphin Design Center houses state-of-the-art fabrication labs, classrooms and collaborative areas for programs in Architectural Design, Game Design, Interactive Arts, Product Design, and Sound Art.

Monday - Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 a.m. (midnight)
Saturday - Sunday: 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.


The 25,000 square-foot building was designed by the Baltimore-based architectural firm, GWWO, with the explicit intention of creating a space for designers for the 21st Century. The Center provides the next generation of artists and designers with a dynamic facility that fosters creativity, collaboration and entrepreneurship.

Game Design, Interactive Arts, Game Arts and Sound Art facilities are located on the Center's second floor, and include the Game Lab and two seminar spaces that can be opened into one large space. Product Design's flexible use space on the third floor includes individual student work spaces, a meeting area and multiple display options, including touch sensitive smart boards. The fifth floor houses Architectural Design and includes individual student work spaces, a seminar area and modular meeting area.


The Dolphin building has a woodshed downstairs on the first floor. It’s very extensive. It has bandsaws, table saws, C&C routers, a plastic crimper, a vacuum-forming tool, drill presses, all sorts of hand tools that you might need. That is very useful because when you’re completing assignments, you don’t have to run to all ends of the campus. I think that’s one of the strengths of the campus overall: Wherever you are, you’re pretty close to the tools you’ll need for your major.” - Herschel Ruben ’21, Product Design
