The Building
The new Fields Center, located at 58 Prospect Avenue, opened in 2009. The renovated building was designed with the specific needs of the Fields Center in mind. One exciting feature is a visual arts gallery that allows the center to host exhibits. The facility also features large and small multipurpose rooms, a seminar room, a library with computers, a reception area and storage space for student groups. Students, faculty and staff can reserve rooms for events and programs.
Named Spaces

Clark Muñoz Gallery
This reception area includes exhibition space and is a central gathering space for students, parents, faculty and friends attending events hosted in the new hall.
