Paresky Center, which replaces Baxter Hall, includes a variety of innovative features designed to reduce energy and resource needs. The building includes several dining venues, a performance space, student mailboxes, a great hall, meeting rooms for student organizations and more. Construction of Paresky and demolition of the 58,000 square foot Baxter Hall were carefully designed to use regional materials, minimize waste, and reduce the use of toxic materials.
