Learning Resources Center — LRC

The John D. Messick Learning Resources Center (LRC), completed in 1965, encompasses four
and one-half acres of floor space and houses the library, bookstore, cafe’s, administration
offices, classrooms, electronic media, laboratories and conference rooms. The pillars that grace
the building represent those in King Solomon’s temple. The front porch skylight is an abstracted
dove. The fountain, composed of two triangles, represents the triune nature of God pouring into the
triune nature of man, and its flame and water symbolize the Holy Spirit. Water falls from
twelve openings, representing the twelve apostles and evangelism.
