12. Meyerhoff House

Transcript

The Robert and Jane Meyerhoff House is a prime example of MICA’s tradition of repurposing important historical buildings for the student artist.

Because of the unique architecture of Meyerhoff House, no two rooms are alike, and each apartment has a unique character, single bedrooms, high ceilings, exposed brick, interesting geometries, and — especially from the upper floors — spectacular views.

It's also a hub of activity with artist studios, the student space Piano Gallery, the Center for Student Engagement, as well as Meyerhoff Dining Hall, a buffet-style main dining facility.

Did You Know?

Meyerhoff House was formerly The Hospital for the Women of Maryland, which opened in 1882 as the second women's hospital in the country.
