This center is among the most spectacular of the university's newer buildings. William Muchow and later architects used the traditional campus Lyons sandstone and red tile roofs to accent cement buildings. They departed from Charles Klauder's rural Italian style with soaring, shed-roofed buildings that have been characterized as Mineshaft Modern but draw inspiration from Klauder's Ketchem Engineering Building.
