明斯特大学学生中心所在位置之前是一个停车场，设计师拆除了停车场及周边建筑，形成一块方形空地，并在这片空地上兴建了这样的建筑。由于其独特的重要性，这个学生中心位于校园北面，位置显眼，临近著名的步行街，步行街将这里与校园中心连接。学生中心与校园图书馆之间还有玻璃走廊相连。学生中心外表是石英岩结构，二层是一个宴会厅，向外倾斜，形成一个悬臂结构。悬臂结构下方是一个供学生进行露天聚餐的露台。中心内部中央有一条宽阔的通道，连接不同的区域。

Because of its leading role in campus life， we gave the student center a prominent position at USD’s north portal， where it borders a historic pedestrian mall. The mall， which we renovated， is a central axis of circulation and links the student center with “Old Main，” the heart of the campus. We also connected the student center with the library by constructing a covered glass structure dubbed the “link lab.” The student center’s exterior is quartzite， the same stone cladding for Old Main—and quarried from the same regional source. Notable features include the second-story ballroom that gestures boldly toward Old Main; beneath this prominent overhang is a terrace for outside dining. Inside， we created a wide central path through the building; students can perch on the balcony above in comfortable sitting areas.
