This building is located on a shady, tree-lined street
on the eastern side of the Campus. The concrete-framed building has a three-story
base with about one-half of the building extending up two additional floors. The
entire front of the building and one side has two-story tall, white, architectural
concrete columns with an exposed aggregate finish supporting the third floor which extends
over a covered veranda. The facade from veranda to ceiling is glass and Andes black
granite. White exposed aggregate concrete is also liberally used on the interior.
