The Kimmel Center for Student Life is an 11-story postmodern building completed in 2001 for NYU. Designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Associates, it is clad in tan granite and limestone, metal and blue-and-grey glass. The main body of the building includes Vetter limestone from Minnesota with some details in buff Indiana limestone. Glass is used as both vision lite in the windows as well as a contemporary enclosure material at the entrances and at the roof, juxtaposed with the more stately mass of the building. The top two floors are glass-enclosed in a sort of glass and metal mansard. The main building is set back atop a 1-story base, with a glass-enclosed staircase on the southeast side, leading up to the 4th level. A wavy, glass-enclosed on the west side covers most of the elevation, but is mostly blocked from view by the new Catholic Center next door. The Kimmel Center offers versatile spaces to students looking to practice music, to rehearse for plays and films, and student clubs and NYU departments for meetings and events.

It is named after former NYU trustees, Helen and Martin Kimmel who also endowed a scholarship for the families of the uniformed fire, police, and emergency workers who were killed in the September 11, 2001 tragedy.
