Student Center

Create a transparent, beckoning hub of social, academic, and residential life

Breidegam Student Center at night
Perkiomen’s longstanding social hangout, café, and bookstore, Roberts Hall, known to our community as “Robbie’s,” was added in 1958, a time where Perkiomen served a population of less than 150 boys. More than 65 years later, it was time for this well-used space to accommodate the needs of today’s student body. In the fall of 2025, we opened the Helen and DeLight Breidegam, Jr. Student Center, a space more technologically attuned, more dynamic, and twice as large as Robbie’s intended to serve.

The student center will include an eGaming studio
The student center will include a design studio

Our vision for a reimagined student center is to establish it as the symbolic heart of our Perkiomen community, anchoring it as the physical heart of the campus. Integrating several student resources in a beautiful space, the new Helen and DeLight Breidegam, Jr. Student Center promotes engagement through a central, attractive, comfortable space rivaling any school. It combines the practical and the aspirational.

Students now have a natural destination with one-stop convenience for many daily tasks such as academic and support offices, performance space, areas for both work and play, along with Lloyd’s Café and the Fritz Family Store. All the while, the Student Center is introducing fresh dynamics, encouraging new intersections of ideas and people and exposing our entire community to exciting, often unexpected opportunities.

“When students are together, that’s when great things happen. Relationships are formed and projects are designed which will allow them to forge friendships from around the world.”
