Occupied in 1969, Building 52 belonged to a group of buildings (50, 51, 52 and 53) that were the first to be designed for a particular discipline and faculty--those making up the respective Alpha College and Gamma College. The two distinct sets of buildings were designed by John E. Jarvis, Jr.

Bldg. 52 included copper roof detail that has since been replaced with aluminum detail. Exterior walls of earth-tan bricks mirror the interior of the classrooms, which vary in size. A covered walkway connects to buildings 52 and 53.

Today, The Learning Center is located in Bldg. 52 providing free tutorial assistance and academic support to all students.
