An expansion and seamless connection to the existing Price Center, this new wing, completed in 2009, provides a contemporary, light filled "living room" space for the students to mingle. The new building engages the campus with plazas and multiple entry points, creating a lively urban feel. Incorporates many sustainable aspects and achieved a LEED Silver rating.
It also incorporates artwork by Barbara Kruger as part of the University's ever expanding Stuart Collection.
