The new Student Center Facility at Elizabeth City State University is intended to reinvigorate the existing student center complex with a greater level of student activity and interaction. The sense of place that this new facility generates is key to the development of a synergetic campus community that, in turn, is vital to the university educational experience. The center serves as the heart of the campus social activity at Elizabeth City State University.

The New Student Center building contains student lounges, a small satellite food service area and accompanying seating, a student bookstore, and a small student orientation area. The second floor contains meeting rooms, a small auditorium, a study lounge, and administrative offices. A large central terrace located to the south of the center is treated essentially as the ECSU 'town square' and will provide a space for outdoor activities and student interaction.
