The architect of Alfred Lerner Hall, Columbia's student center, is Bernard Tschumi, former Dean of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, in association with Gruzen Samton Architects. The architects strove for a facility that featured a modern innovative design, while remaining true to the University's more classic architecture.

The main purpose of the center is to serve students' needs conveniently in one location. Some of the main highlights and attractions of the center are: 7,000 undergraduate mailboxes; student lounges; two computer rooms, one allowing 24-hour access; a copy center; two dining venues; numerous multi-functional event spaces, including a 1,500-seat auditorium with balcony; a pool and game room; and offices for administrative services and student organizations.
