Architecture: This is an early-20th century modern building with large glass planes and public spaces. A plaza to the west serves for assembly and outdoor dining. Though of its times, it is comfortable in scale, materials, color and disposition with the nearby historic structures. It also forms a formal composition with the law school to the east.

History: The Pryzbyla Center opened in 2003, replacing those functions formerly in Cardinal Hall. The site previously served as the original university stadium.

Significance: The architecture of the Pryzbyla Center is of sufficient merit to be considered for its contribution to the architectural and historic qualities of the campus when it has exceeded 50 years of age.

Condition: The Pryzbyla Center is in excellent condition and in no need of renovation at this time. Minor office space renovations were completed in 2004, to include general floor plan modifications.
