University Center – Central State University

As “the heart of campus” this new 88,000 square foot facility will serve the daily living needs of both residential and commuter students. The building will feature offices for several university administrative departments and student organizations, a ballroom/conference center, multipurpose theater space, a bookstore and convenience store, computer labs, food services with a 600-seat dining facility, lounges and gathering spaces, a student recreation area, cyber lounge, and support facilities.

“Of note was your team’s readiness to address head-on any unanticipated challenges and issues. This was first realized when Smoot Construction’s team members encountered foundations from an old structure on what was thought to be a clean site. The team pushed their efforts into high gear, working 12-hour days and countless weekends to make up for any lost time due to these unforeseen conditions.”

-Daarel E. Burnette, Vice President for Administration and Finance | Central State University
