Alumni Center
Walkway Through Alumni Center Front of Alumni Center Alumni Center	The Alumni Center is a unique building in shape and design. Constructed in 1983, it was designed by Hugh Newell Jacobsen. [107] The general shape of the building is a triangle, although service rooms, an auditorium, and a mail room jut out to form square corners on the end of the triangle. The exterior is red brick with limestone facing between the different floors. From Ingalls mall, the building only appears to be two stories, but a third floor (fully visible from Fletcher and Washington Streets) is obscured by the sloping metal roof. The most distinguishing feature is the diagonal walkway the cuts through the lower level of the building. It passes beneath the second floor, past the glass atrium, and beneath another two floors before exiting at the street. Most of the first floor is dedicated two the lobby, an auditorium, a kitchen, and a mail room. Offices are located on the second and third floors, with some in the basement. While the exterior is impressive, the interior is very simple, with a flowing layout and doors that blend in with the walls. The auditorium has adjustable walls, fireplaces, and a large two story bay window located on the west end. The building is dedicated entirely to the Alumni Association along with small office space for the Student-Alumni Council.
