Overlooking Cedar Lake, the building will house the University’s Department of Biblical Studies and the Academic Enrichment Center, as well as classrooms and student collaboration rooms. Visually, the Center promises to proclaim light to the world, with Scripture etched on the glass in the atrium and commissioned artwork in reflective spaces. According to Dr. Tom Hutchison ’80, interim dean of the School of Biblical and Theological Studies, “The feel of the building strongly emphasizes the Bible and how to take its message to today’s culture in meaningful ways.” what ’s buzz 4 spring 2008
