Stopher-Johnson Honors Complex

The Stopher-Johnson Complex, located in the historic heart of the Kent campus, houses the Honors College administrative offices and living-learning community. Rebuilt from the ground up, Stopher and Johnson Halls were constructed on the footprint of the original buildings to preserve the historic May 4th site. The complex occupies a prime location along the pedestrian esplanade, close to the Kent Student Center, University Library, and Design Innovation (DI) Hub, which has dining facilities on the third floor. The lower level of the Stopher-Johnson complex is home to the Honors College administrative offices, advising offices, library/print lab, and classrooms.

The Honors College – Lower Level, 20 Stopher Hall

  • Reception Area and Lobby of the Honors College

    • The reception area and lobby for the Honors College are located on the lower level of Stopher Hall at 20 Stopher Hall. The front office staff at the reception desk welcome students, faculty, staff, and guests to the Honors College. Students arriving for Honors advising will check in at the reception desk. The lobby serves as a waiting area for Honors advising and as a communal space for students and staff to hold small social gatherings.

  • Administrative & Advising Offices

    • The Honors College administrative and advising offices are located down the hall from the reception area and lobby. Due to privacy concerns, anyone with an appointment with administrative or advising staff must check in at the reception desk and wait in the lobby area for assistance.
