To centralize or not to centralize? That was the question answered when a college campus looked for boiler systems that would offer student comfort—and historic preservation. To centralize or not to centralize?" That was the question that Elon College in North Carolina began to ask in 1990. A master plan drafted for the campus that year centered on tying together its historic and more modern halves by razing a central parking lot and building a new student center near an administration building. These two buildings would be the focal points of a central "quad," flanked by a renovated athletic center and a new library.
