"The renovation to and expansion of the university's Africana Studies and Research Center added 6,000 square feet of new space, including a large community room and the 3,066-square-foot John Henrik Clarke Africana Library, designed for the center's 21,000-volume collection. The two new pavilions, clad in multicolored brick in elaborate patterns that allude to African textiles, join with the existing structure to create the feeling of a small village. The existing structure houses classrooms, lounges, and offices for faculty members, graduate students, and administrators. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
