Student & Administrative Services Center

Constructed in 2003, the Student & Administrative Services Center was designed for the convenience of students and the public by providing easy access to important campus services, and first-time visitors typically begin their campus tours there. Its three-story cast-stone structure has a high-tech appeal that departs from the more traditional yellow-brick exterior featured in most twentieth-century campus architecture. Before its construction, services were scattered around campus, with admissions and most services directly affecting new students headquartered in the Klump Academic Center, where classes were first offered in 1914. Murray Associates Architects, P.C., of Harrisburg designed this building and the adjacent Madigan Library to create an impressive visual introduction to the campus. In 2010, the large-scale art piece Infinite Possibilities, created by students, faculty, staff, and visiting artist Antonio Puri, was installed in the center. Combining 100 canvases and 39 recycled wooden cigar boxes, the work signifies how art and technology come together. Puri, a Philadelphia-based artist born in India, worked with students and other volunteers over four days to complete it.
