The description of the Design Center is good, the information about the location is detailed. I think you could possibly make the wording of the paragraph a little bit more fluid. I think that the most important thing that you could add additionally, would be information on what is done inside the building. Is it just a meeting building ? Or is testing done in there as well?

Response to Peer review
Thank you MSTGolf2021 for taking the time to peer review my paper. I myself noticed that my wording is all over the place. I got a bit ahead of myself and went straight to putting down the information without thinking about order or flow. I will go back in and fix the order and flow of my information. I will also be adding more about the function and purpose of the design center. I will do my best to show the readers of article what the design center is for and how students are able to utilize it.
