St. John’s College UBC is

modeled after such prestigious

places of higher learning as
the Oxbridge Colleges at
Oxford and Cambridge in
England and Green College at
UBC. Architect James Cheng
travelled to the original St.
John’s University campus in
Shanghai to study the
architectural style of the build-
ings. St. John’s College UBC
brings together past and
present—capturing the
atmosphere of the Shanghai
campus in a unique West

Coast design.

St. John’s College UBC will
be reminiscent of the original

campus in Shanghai. Its

landmark courtyard and
clock tower, which provide a
strong visual reference,
reflect one of the original
Shanghai buildings known
as S.Y. Hall. Dhesetwo
elements, together with the
brick, exposed heavy timber
construction within various
rooms and sloped roofs—all
key features from St. John’s
University—will characterize
the College at UBC.

Residents and visitors will
be able to learn more
about the university that
inspired St. John’s College
UBC through memorabilia
that will be displayed at
the College.

A private office will also be
available for use by alumni

and visiting lecturers.

Located on the west side of
UBC’s campus, St. John’s
College UBC will be developed
in three phases and upon
completion will provide
accommodation for more than
170 residents and include
several meeting room facilities
and seminar rooms, as well
as dining facilities, lounge and
social areas, and a landscaped

open air courtyard.

Phase one features single
and double occupancy units
for 35 residents and will be
fully operational for the 1997/98
academic year. A large
meeting room, two seminar
rooms, and units for 87 stu-
dents will be added in phase
two. The third and final
phase of the College will

be completed in 1999,

the 120° anniversary of the
founding of St. John’s
University in Shanghai.

Thanks to those Johanneans
who never forgot the treasured
friendship and fellowship

they shared at St. John’s

University, UBC can now offer
