The center was built using solely donations to the Alumni Association with Roy & Bobbi Reiman donating $9 million toward the building's construction.[2] On the east side of the building sits a statue of Iowa State University's mascot Cy'. It was designed by Michael D'Ambrosi and is the only sculpture of the school's mascot on campus.[2]
The building, which was in the plans for over 30 years, was architecturally designed to resemble parts of Iowa State University campus.[2] The building is part of Iowa State's "Live Green!" campaign and uses geothermal for heating and cooling. It is the only building at Iowa State that uses geothermal.[2]
