Murray D. Lincoln Campus Center is a high-rise building on the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus, in Amherst, Massachusetts. The Center is named after Murray D. Lincoln, a leader in the cooperative movement, a founder of what became Nationwide Insurance, and co-founder and first president of CARE.
The concrete building and attached parking garage were designed by Marcel Breuer in the Modernist and Brutalist architectural styles.[2] The building also hosts the 116-room Hotel UMass (formerly The Campus Center Hotel)[3] on floors three through seven. Between 2008 and 2009, the hotel was renovated by Eastern General Contractors of Springfield, MA under the direction of architectural firm Gensler.
