这座37000平方英尺的史蒂芬•L•安德森设计中心是在沃尔沃克大厅的基础上新建，由Marlon Blackwell建筑事务所及Polk Stanley Wilcox建筑事务所联合设计的，旨在为这座沃尔沃克大厅传统建筑加以现代化功能，传承过去而不模仿它，并体现这个校园的悠久历史。为了达成这些设计目的，新设计需要与沃尔沃克大厅的比例与空间布局相协调。安德森设计中心的北墙和南墙采用了多空玻璃面板做建筑幕墙，旨在改善西面太阳的暴晒。
建筑南北立面为玻璃幕墙，新的消防楼梯上空采用了透明天井，营造了尊重旧建筑与新建筑共存的空间。精心制作的建筑混凝土，与原来的石材相匹配，提供了一种庄严的、质感的、尊重历史的感觉。而在沃尔沃克大厅三角型的山墙与爱奥尼亚式柱组成的主入口，既传统又高贵。而新设计的西入口，采用了可窥视室内的的玻璃三重门，更易引起当代的共鸣感。
史蒂芬L安德森设计中心采用了空敞的空间设计，显著提高了费伊琼斯学校工作室的环境，这是学校里十分重要的建筑。建筑一层至四层都设有工作室。肯与琳达苏演讲厅位于新建建筑西北侧的首层及二层，是配有先进设备、可容纳200个座位的演讲厅。演讲厅旁边还有一个站立式的画廊。建筑主楼的西南侧布置了费雷德与玛丽史密斯展览馆及露台，其高大的落地窗营造了类似商店橱窗的展示空间，露台采用了细长的混凝土外框及玻璃栏杆，在此可眺望这历史悠久的校园。
另外一个最引人注目的建筑特色是建筑五层的空中露台，在这里可以在更近的距离欣赏波士顿山群的壮丽，以及周边校园历史区的全景。建筑五层有一间教室，教室上方是30英尺长的矩形天窗，同时照亮二层的画廊。建筑最西面布置了教室办公室，在那里可以看到建筑的屋顶花园。

The Steven L. Anderson Design Center, a 37,000 square foot addition to Vol Walker Hall, designed by a collaboration of Marlon Blackwell Architects and Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects, is intended to be a modern complement to the traditional architecture of Vol Walker Hall, sensitive to the past without being imitative of it and conceived to enhance the spatial character of the historic campus plan. To achieve these design goals, the addition was conceived in plan and massing to harmonize with Vol Walker Hall’s proportions and spatial configuration. The footprint of the addition replicates that of the traditional structure’s entry (eastern portico) wing, physically and conceptually balancing the old and the new. Similarly, regulating lines established by the classical composition and rigorous proportions of string courses, cornice lines, traditional fenestration and moldings of Vol Walker Hall generated the organizational system for articulating and sizing the Indiana limestone panels that clad the north and south walls of the Anderson Design Center and the sleek fritted-glass panes, designed to ameliorate the harshness and heat of western light, that comprise its curtain wall.
A visual sliver of glass in the north and south elevations, the transparent wells of its new fire-stairs, creates a respectful seam that negotiates the addition and the original structure from the exterior, yet, from the interior, frames and underscores the carefully calculated relationships between the two. Meticulously fabricated architectural concrete, together with the contextually fitting stone cladding, vest the addition with a gravitas, a feeling of weight and substance, that honors its historic counterpart. So too, the memory and dignity of Vol Walker Hall’s entry way, marked by triangular pediment and ionic pilasters, resonates in the contemporary articulation of the new addition’s western portal, graciously set back under a generous overhang, its tripartite glass doorway emulating with exactitude the proportions of the old entrance, visible in the distance with a glance through the grand promenade that connects the two spaces inside. Construction of the addition was facilitated by the removal of the long defunct and dysfunctional stack area of Vol Walker, an inhabitable relic of its original function as university library that defied rehabilitation.
As its spatial envelope makes apparent, the Steven L. Anderson Design Center has increased significantly the Fay Jones School’s studio space—the very heart of a school of architecture. Studios occur on all floors, from ground level to the fourth floor. The Ken and Linda Sue Schollmier Lecture Hall, which rises from the first floor to the second floor of the addition’s northwest side, provides a state-of-the-art lecture hall that accommodates approximately 200 seats, as well as a “standing room” gallery. On the southwest side of the main floor, the Fred and Mary Smith Exhibition Gallery and Terrace, anchors the addition—its tall windows creating a store-front like reference point that reveals the processes and products of design to the campus community and its graceful terrace, minimally articulated with slender concrete border and glass balustrade, projects out towards the familiar pathways of the historic campus plan.
One of the most compelling architectural features of the addition is its fourth-floor sky terrace, which both affords a spectacular view of the Boston Mountains and, at closer range, provides a picture-window frame for observing nearby elements of the campus historic district, engaging a dialogue that extends beyond the discrete relationship of the Steven L. Anderson Design Center and Vol Walker Hall to the relationship of the addition with its gothic revival neighbors and the neo-traditional Mullins Library to the west. The fourth (upper-most) floor of the addition also includes a classroom, directly under the 20-feet long rectangular skylight that illuminates the second-floor gallery, another element that bridges historic and new fabric. A line of faculty offices marks the western edge of the plan, each with a view to the building’s green roof, a visible reminder of the ethics of sustainability that are central to the preservation ethos that provides the conceptual framework for this new construction.
