Here's what the ORU website says about this incredible building:

 

The John D. Messick Learning Resources Center (LRC), completed in 1965, encompasses four

and one-half acres of floor space and houses the library, bookstore, cafe’s, administration

offices, classrooms, electronic media, laboratories and conference rooms. The pillars that grace

the building represent those in King Solomon’s temple. The front porch skylight is an abstracted

dove. The fountain, composed of two triangles, represents the triune nature of God pouring into the

triune nature of man, and its flame and water symbolize the Holy Spirit. Water falls from

twelve openings, representing the twelve apostles and evangelism.
