Our innovation hub is a co-working, meeting, and event space all-in-one, located in Remington, across the street from R. House, and a short walk from the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus.
Welcome to the Pava Center!
The Pava Center brings people together for creative problem-solving, facilitating student entrepreneurs exploring their extracurricular areas of interest. Members of the accelerator programs have access to dedicated facilities, every day of the week. This includes a 2,000-square-foot Makerspace run by the Whiting School of Engineering, complete with high-tech tools for crafting and prototyping.
During the academic year, the building is open from 10 a.m.-10 p.m., seven days a week. Please check social media for the latest availability. We follow university closures throughout the year with revised building hours.
Reserve Space
Our space offers co-working areas, meeting rooms, and event space for use by any student, faculty, or staff working on or supporting innovation. With over 10,000-square-feet, we facilitate collaborative spaces large and small.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our building is an open, working space and cannot make assurances about the privacy of events, meetings, or classes held in the space. Please note that events, meetings, and classes regularly occur in the space at the same time. Due to the layout of the space, sounds from simultaneous events may affect noise levels. If you have questions or concerns, we highly recommend visiting the space prior to booking it.
