The Reynolds Campus Center is home to student retail ventures, the campus store, sidewalk delis and cafes, student mailroom, international reading room, meeting rooms and student activities offices. A bustling daylight interior street was created parallel to the major campus path bringing the life of the campus into the building. The Campus Center also contains the award-winning Sorenson Center for the Arts, featuring a 450-seat theater with wraparound balconies and side loge box seating.
