HOW TO NAVIGATE:
When placing your cursor over the picture, arrows will appear. Clicking on the arrows will walk you through to your desired location. In addition, there are control buttons on the side of the screen, a plus/minus button, a rotation arrow, and a “1,2” button. Clicking on the minus button will make the screen zoom out, and similarly clicking on the plus button allows for the screen to zoom in. By clicking on the arrows in the circle, you can allow for the screen to turn either left or right, depending on which angle you would like to see. Both arrows and the plus/minus may be clicked multiple times until you can see exactly what you are trying to focus on. The buttons that say 1 and 2 are indications of what floor you are currently viewing. Our academic center for student-athletes has two floors, and both can be easily viewed by clicking either 1 (first floor) or 2 (second floor).
FIRST FLOOR:
Hall of Champions- This inspiring hallway serves as a shrine to the athletic accomplishments of our student-athletes and is located on the South side of the Southeast entrance of the building.
Bo Campbell Auditorium- On the first floor on either side of the hallways are enormous wooden doors that open up to the largest auditorium on our campus. With the capacity to seat over 1,000 people, Bo Campbell Auditorium is used for classes, conventions, conferences, test taking, athletic meetings, student-athlete seminars, tutoring/GA meetings and more.
Academic Hall of Fame- Mirroring the Hall of Champions, this hallway recognizes the academic successes of our student-athletes. The goal of student-athletes is more than just being able to succeed in competition, but also to excel in the classroom.
Student Learning Center- The Center
houses four learning specialists, and a room for both private and group work. The learning specialist help assists our student-athletes by teaching academic skills and strategies.
Main Office- In between the Hall of Champions and the Academic Hall of Fame is an office space where nine staff members (Academic Advisors, Life-Skills Manager, Information Technology Manager, and Assistant Vice Chancellor and Executive Director) are located. This is where our student-athletes have their academic advising meetings, schedule appointments and receive administrative help.
Academic Center for Excellence- Walking pass the Academic Hall of Fame and the wooden doors of Bo Campbell Auditorium is our Academic Center for Excellence. This area includes a computer lab, work study space, and two academic advisors’ offices.
CCACSA Conference Room- On our first floor, pass the doors of the Academic Center for Excellence is another hallway with offices.

Shaquille O’Neal Life Skills Office- In this suite, you can find two administrative offices, a media training lab, and a mini-computer lab.
Media Training Room- This is a place where our student-athletes participate in media etiquette, public speaking, and interviewing skills.
SECOND FLOOR:
Computer Lab- Our state of the art lab includes 52 desktop computers, 12 study rooms, two printers, and framed names of our Academic Honor Roll student-athletes.
CCACSA Library- Although the normal word “library” would house books, our library consists of large tables and chairs. The library is decorated with memorable moments and murals of student-athletes in the classroom, community, graduation and competition.
Tutorial Center- Our newly renovated tutorial center is where our tutoring appointments occur. There are 20 rooms in total, each with chairs, tables, smartboards or thirty-nine inch monitors, and desktop computers for our student-athletes and their tutors to use. There are approximately 1100-1300 tutoring appointments per week. Some appointments are one on one and others are in group settings.
Math Lab- Math Lab is a mini-computer room next to the library where our student-athletes may come to receive tutorial and enrichment assistance.
E.D.G.E Fuel Center- In our recently added fueling center there are many healthy snacks and meals available to our student-athletes. Although fueling stations are around campus for student-athletes, having one in our Academic Center helps them stay fueled and focused for excellence.
