Project Overview

Resolution
In September 2002, following more than a year of planning, the Prescott College Board of Trustees unanimously passed a resolution authorizing the design and construction of a multi-use facility that models Prescott College’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

Vision
The Crossroads Center will enable Prescott College to constructively engage the campus and the greater world in teaching, research and discussion about the various challenges and opportunities facing our local and global communities.

The Crossroads Center will serve as the central gathering point for Prescott College’s learning community through integration of the information commons (library), café, technology, classrooms, and social spaces.

In addition, the Crossroads Center will function as a conference services facility integrated with the daily needs of the College’s academic enterprise. The Crossroads Center will provide the College with the following new space to support a wide variety of functions:

  • Information Commons (integration of Library with technological and social functions)
  • Campus Café
  • Classrooms
  • Social Spaces
  • Quiet Spaces
  • Multifunctional Meeting Space
  • Outdoor Amphitheater
  • Administrative Spaces
