The Johnston Center for Integrative Studies is one of the oldest academic living‑learning communities in the country and a signature program at the University of Redlands. Students live and learn together in the Johnston dorm, where there are classrooms, creative spaces, a meditation room, a commuter lounge, and a music room.
