The Center was designed by Moody/Nolan of Columbus, Ohio and WTW Architects of Pittsburgh, PA. It was constructed by Smoot Construction of Columbus, Ohio.

The Center features Georgian-style architecture and expansive windows throughout the 183,000 sq. ft. building that offer spectacular views of campus and allow a great deal of natural light to enter. In contrast to the exterior’s rich red brick, distinctive white columns and accents, the interior has a more contemporary feel. The interior features high ceilings, ergonomic furniture and a color scheme of sage, plum and mocha to create an inviting, casual atmosphere.

The “Main Street effect” is something planners prepared for from the start – by incorporating an escalator system to carry people through the atrium that cuts through the building and connects the upper and lower portions of the campus. This design feature earned the facility mention in a 2006 Association of College Unions International book as a best practice.
