The lounge on the second floor, approximately 100 by 40 feet, has a large couch, several tables and chairs, a refrigerator and dining area and a separate room just for playing video games with three chairs and two TVs.

The deck opens up to a view to the west that includes Lawlor Events Center.

The project broke ground in June 2023. It was made possible due to a $4 million donation from Eric and Linda Lannes, whose names are on the bricks outside the building.

There were also two $2 million donations for the project by anonymous donors

In February 2022, the university and the athletics department jointly announced the funding for the project.
