The Amino Center serves as a welcome to the athletics facilities on the North side of campus. Sitting below a practice field and adjacent to two parking lots and Larry Wilcox Stadium, the Amino Center houses the football offices, locker rooms and the Tardiff Performance Center. The building was completed in the summer of 1990 and has gone through a number of renovations since then. In addition to offices, locker rooms and the weight room, the Amino Center houses an auxiliary training room and has two of the largest class rooms on campus that are used throughout the day by students and also serve as meeting rooms for the football program.
The two meeting rooms were added in 2004 to give the Ravens a large meeting space. In 2007, a renovation gave each coach a personal office space and created a more welcoming environment for recruits and visitors.
The hallway located between the original building and the 2004 addition, has become a Hall of Honor for the program with a large display case and pictures of the Ravens Conference Defensive and Offensive Players of the Year. Various pictures of the history of the program, including a picture of former Raven and NAIA Hall of Famer, Jamie Mueller from his time with the Buffalo Bills are located in the hallway and along the outside walls of the meeting rooms.
