| Situated at the north end of the [[p:pond|campus pond]], the Murray D. Lincoln Campus Center is a widely noted example of Brutalist architecture: a poured concrete structure poised on a monumental platform, accessed by a series of broad steps. In keeping with his modernist principles, Marcel Breuer designed the facade of the building to articulate its varied functions: the recessed fenestration of the four hotel floors clearly differentiates them from the lower two floors, floors eight and nine are distinguished by a still different pattern of windows, while the top two floors are provided with sun screens that form distinctive patterns on the facade. Function is similarly expressed in the north facade and the end of the building, which have clearly articulated stair towers. | Situated at the north end of the [[p:pond|campus pond]], the Murray D.
