College Resource Center Designed as the intellectual hub of the campus, this 94,935-square-foot center is sited on a step hill. The base of the building is clad in a warm dolomitic limestone quarried in the region while upper walls are brick with punched windows. Walls at the ends of the east-west axis and those forming a courtyard consist of aluminum curtainwall with lightly tinted glass, bringing daylight into the building and providing a beacon effect at night.
