Originally constructed in 1988, the two-story cast-in-place concrete structure was designed to serve as a plinth for a fountain element, later evolving into the support for the chockablock clock—a 46-foot-tall audio kinetic sculpture by George Rhoads. Over time, the sculpture's operational and maintenance costs became untenable for the owner, leading to its decommissioning. The sculpture was later donated to Shippensburg University.

The architect reconceptualized this concrete edifice, transforming it through an intervention that introduces a cantilevered meeting room as a striking architectural capstone.

This cantilevered volume, with its vivid yellow façade—a deliberate reference to the clock’s original color palette—pays homage to the site's history while integrating a new clock element on its northern elevation. The meeting room’s transparent, glazed walls create a sense of openness and fluidity, allowing it to function as both an informal lounge space and a formal conference room.

The stage beneath this structure has been meticulously reconfigured, expanding its footprint to accommodate larger performances and ensuring ADA-compliant accessibility. This redesign not only enhances the functionality of the atrium but also reinforces the spatial dialogue between past and present architectural elements.
