"This building takes a challenging hillside site and turns it into a grand gesture that is practical, fun, and sustainable. A tall, bright, semicircular atrium serves as a hinge to join the building's two axes -- the long one aligned with Main Street, just outside, and the short one with an existing home-economics building that was incorporated into the project. A grand staircase in the atrium, as well as wide hallways opening off it, give students access to a game room, several different dining facilities, a retail store, a bank, and the university�s bookstore, which has a coffee shop attached. The student center also has offices for student-affairs departments and student organizations, a ballroom with wonderful mountain views, and a fireplace lounge. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
