The Grind
Erected in 1991, the Haas Center’s building on Salvatierra Walk features a Tudor-style façade. Students who are part of affiliated programs or activities have 24/7 access to the building, Schnaubelt said. Originally, in the 1980s, those involved with the Haas Center would meet at Owen House.
