The campus was noted for its round buildings and futuristic space age design.[3] Between 2005 and 2008 much of the original campus was demolished and a new campus was built in its place. The new campus was designed by Orcutt/Winslow Partnership and built by DL Withers Construction Co.[4] The circular library is the only original building that remains.
