The original building was constructed in 1971 on the west side of campus. The renovation respected the existing architecture of the building while updating finishes and spaces to make it more welcoming, collaborative, and open.

The ground level now houses four new general assignment classrooms, both traditional and active-learning format. The first level houses the student services and diversity departments, along with a board room, student commons area, and Student Success Center offices. The second level includes administrative offices, conference and collaboration areas, and classrooms. The third and fourth levels house additional office and classroom space.
