This facility was designed in 1909 by architect Hyman Witcover for the Congregation B'nai B'rith as their synagogue. Classified as an exotic revival building, it features stylistic motifs including keyhole arches, defining windows with arabesque patterns, intricately carved and corbelled detail and Moorish-style domes. The synagogue was decommissioned in 1970 and was used as the site of the Saint Andrews Independent Episcopal Church until 2002. SCAD acquired the building in 2003 and reopened it as the Student Center in 2006. Student Involvement, SERVE, United Student Forum, Inter-Club Council, Student Activities Council, and the Student Center Director's offices are located on the entry-level of the center.
On the second floor, the SCAD Esports Arena features 36 gaming stations. SCAD’s two Varsity level Esports teams, Overwatch and League of Legends, regularly practice within the arena. Gaming stations unmarked for Varsity teams are available for open-play by the SCAD community during normal building hours.
