Significance: Centennial Village is a supportive complex within the campus. Its late-20th-century design and simple architecture have a neutral, pleasant impact, but are not architecturally or historically contributing buildings.
Condition: Built on a challenging site, with some persistent drainage and landscaping issues. Landscaping and a plaza were added after construction; cosmetic replacements, including carpeting, in the past few years. The mechanical loop will require further capital replacement in a few years. All houses and rooms have network connections to the computer system and cable television services. Renovations were completed in 2004 and 2005 to include fire sprinkler systems and finishes.
