The Outdoor Adventure Center is the headquarters for adventure trips, academic & non-credit classes & activities, challenge course programming, outdoor gear rentals and the campus bike shop. 

The layout of the building facilitates each activity area either independently or together. Interior materials and detailing are intentionally rugged. Exposed concrete floors, steel structure, ductwork and piping provide an honest expression of what the building is and how it works. The exterior climbing wall creates a unique focal point and strong visual clue as to the purpose of the building. The building is lit in a way that makes it a beacon for visitors coming to campus from the North.
