Located directly adjacent to the student union the new center includes gathering, meeting and performance practice spaces, student and multicultural student organization group spaces, a kitchen, office spaces, prayer/meditation room, and additional core support spaces.
The modern facility is comprised of an exposed metal panel structure with a multi-material exterior envelope. Throughout preconstruction, the team developed numerous cost options to explore a variety of materials and methods and give the university the best value.
