The Library & Student Success Center began construction in December 2018 and the project was completed in Fall 2021. The center was open to students, faculty, and staff in 2022.
The 172,000 SF 4-story building houses the Central Campus library, a 430-seat auditorium, a commons area with food service, and Student Services areas including, Admissions, Registration, Financial Aid, Testing, Transfer and Career, Student Government, student organizations, and Academic Learning.
