+ Salem College Student Center
The Student Center for Salem College is the first new building constructed on campus in 30 years. Designed to echo traditional, 200-year-old Moravian building styles, it is a thoroughly modern building inside, complete with student lounges, a café, bookstore, theater, office space, and meeting rooms. This facility is tracking to achieve LEED Silver certification. To view timelapse video of this building's construction, click here.

Interior spaces surround a two-story hall, and this grand staircase connects both levels. At the foot of the stairs, a smaller lounge area forms a lobby space for a small auditorium / theater, and leads to a new college bookstore.
