156,000 bricks ... 416 tons of steel ... 787 data/phone ports ... 626 student seats ... 75 student computers ... four floors ... 38 faculty offices ... 16 classrooms. Centennial Hall, dedicated in September 2000, has become the focus of the Bluffton College campus.

"Most would say the best feature of Centennial Hall is the technology access it provides to both faculty and students. But I would suggest that the center's best feature is the fact that it draws the campus together. Some departments that had previously been scattered all over campus are now together in one huge building, which seems to be convenient for everyone. It helps to reinforce the 'community' atmosphere that BC tries to create."

Students can access digital tools and networked resources in every classroom. Five classrooms are equipped with digital presentation systems that allow instructors to project course materials from network files, websites, CDs or a digital video camera stand and to save material produced during class to the campus network.

The Technology Center includes work zones for personal computing, multimedia development and collaborative projects.
