Purdue University's Center for Student Excellence and Leadership includes space for student retention and success programs, student organizations, and student meeting, work, study and counseling areas. The facility houses the University's Student Access, Transition and Success offices, as well as support tutoring programs in writing, math and chemistry, and is home for student volunteer, government and Greek organizations.

The Center earned LEED Gold certification by incorporating sustainable engineering strategies, such as air-side economizers, demand control ventilation and occupancy-controlled lighting. The building management system monitors and varies power usage to validate the energy model results.
