Buldg. 21 is located at the center of activities on the UWF campus. The architect for this structure was William F. Parks, the designer of the Natatorium/Aquatic Center.

The building is "L" shaped with the main entrance at the juncture of the two wings. On the South side of the "L," there is a covered walkway, running the length of the building, giving shelter and access to each of the office suites located in the building.

The walkway features arched endings displaying the chambered nautilus relief. On the south side of the "magnolia walk" there is a small triangular respite area with benches that provides a view of a small verdant green and a sculpture created by UWF's own Hank Heuler.

Occupied by Student Support Services in 1990, today the office of the Dean of Students offers services from Bldg. 21.
