The largest and most central roof plane is suspended over what\u2019s known as the \u201cliving room\u201d\u2014the sun-flooded heart of the building, where all paths converge and from which other spaces radiate. Elsewhere, smaller roof planes mark the four \u201centry vestibules,\u201d each located at a different elevation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//10//906.001_Nic-Lehoux-scaled.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.001_Nic-Lehoux-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.001_Nic-Lehoux-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.001_Nic-Lehoux-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.001_Nic-Lehoux-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.001_Nic-Lehoux-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.001_Nic-Lehoux-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some of the many lounge space at the Center.

The atrium-like space features alternating upholstery colors, movable furniture, planters, and cleverly integrated lighting to create what David Rockwell, founder and president of the firm, calls \u201ca slightly town-square effect.\u201d It\u2019s also where the structural mass timber and Eramosa limestone tracing the treads and risers are best able to shine\u2014or more accurately, glow\u2014thanks to ribbons of warm daylight and lighting fixtures from <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////lobsintl.com/">L\u2019Observatoire International<\/a> discreetly recessed into the ceiling grooves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The student center\u2019s program was informed by a robust polling and canvassing process that solicited ideas from students, faculty, and staff. The university heard a clear call for \u201ca creative outlet as a foil to the academic rigor here,\u201d says Lee Coyle, the university\u2019s director for capital projects and planning. \u201cThere have always been jokes about the library being the student center,\u201d he adds, referring to the notoriously bookish student body. \u201cIt was important to provide a place for creative release\u2014something beyond the academic grind.\u201d The building now houses a 250-seat black-box theater open to the public, dance and music rehearsal studios, a food hall, arts and ceramics rooms, multipurpose spaces, and ten lounges sprinkled throughout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//10//906.007_Nic-Lehoux-768x1024.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.007_Nic-Lehoux-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/906.007_Nic-Lehoux-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Designed by the Rockwell Group, all interiors were conceived with the idea of major flexibility and durability.

Double- and triple-paned glass, a partially subterranean footprint, and shaded roof overhangs reduce demand on HVAC systems and enhance energy efficiency. Photovoltaic panels covering each roof plane generate about 40 percent of the building\u2019s required energy\u2014a major contribution toward the university\u2019s LEED Platinum target.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//10//copyright_laurianghinitoiu_big_jh_8-768x1024.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/copyright_laurianghinitoiu_big_jh_8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/copyright_laurianghinitoiu_big_jh_8-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All of the building&#8217;s rooftops are covered with solar panels to reduce the power consumption.
