The Cardwell Welcome Center is a one-story, 20,000 sq. ft. administration building with a 65 ft. diameter rotunda. This rotunda is the focal point of the building while acting as the front door to Lubbock Christian University.

This building acts as a gathering place, hosting the University's public announcements and civic activities. The Cardwell Welcome Center has been designed so a LEED Platinum rating can be obtained from the U.S. Green Building Council.
