The college newspaper, the Technician, celebrated the building’s opening on January 18 with a front-page drawing of the student service center’s façade along with the headline, “Things Will Never Be The Same Again: gone are the old days, gone are the only ways, this is to tell you OUR DREAM HAS COME TRUE…” Described as “ultra modern,” the 21,000 square foot Student Service Center initially housed the Student Supply Store and a “fountain snack-bar.” The modernist building with its lively roof canopies was razed by NCSU in 2011 to make room for expansion of the Talley Student Center.
