There is a rooftop “sky terrace” on top of the indoor amenities space. The site includes an outdoor study room and a central courtyard with outdoor dining. Based on student surveys, designers opted for more study space instead of additional amenities, such as a gym or club room. There are 6 disabled, 136 standard car parking spaces, and 96 long-term and 7 short-term bicycle spaces. There is a separate parking structure that is shared by multiple buildings.

KTGY Architecture + Planning designed both phases of the project. The first phase, a separate building at 2215 East Alcazar Street, began construction in 2016, the new site began construction in 2019. $23 million was the permit valuation for the new site at the time of filing.
