This postcard shows Springfield College's Living Center and the covered pathway to the Kakley Graduate Annex. The photograph was taken by Ben Barnhart in 1992. The Living Center serves as apartment-style housing for students. Originally known as the Logan Street building or the Standard Electric Time Building, it was purchased by Springfield College in 1990 and opened later that same year. The college split the building into two distinct sections: the Living Center and an academic section, with classrooms and offices, later referred to as Herbert P. Blake Hall. The entire building is 120,000 square feet. The Living Center has a capacity of 224 residents, made up of four floors with forty-seven total apartments. Each apartment houses three to six people. There is a lounge located on the first floor, a laundry room, and a courtyard in the back of the building to allow for socializing and events to take place. The Kakley Annex holds twenty-four graduate students. The students have individual rooms, but share a kitchen, dining area, living room, and two bathrooms.
