The facility consists of standard classrooms, distance learning classrooms, science lab, computer classroom, lecture hall, and a multimedia library, along with administrative office space for each college and university. Through technology, the building itself becomes an educational tool. Students are able to monitor the HVAC system and its controls through web-based software, thereby learning how the system works and how the climate and building design affect performance.

A wind turbine and solar panels on-site assist in reducing the overall utility cost and allow students to see first-hand the benefits of alternative energy sources. This higher education facility sets a new standard for the learning environment and energy efficiency. The building is designed to maximize use of natural light and has sensors throughout that control the artificial light level by measuring the amount of light present in the space. The high-tech facility is the first building on what has become a campus for public higher education. Its placement at the front of the site allows the building to serve as a beacon of what is to come.
