A relatively simple design with courtyards and fountains, the Lucius Pond Ordway Building has been compared to Taliesin West.

The upper portion of the building is a series of triangles. Triangles also frame the concrete block columns.

The Lucius Pond Ordway Building was designed as a dining hall, but it became the industrial arts center. The building is now an arts center with a student lounge and a theater-in-the-round.
