The Westcott Building currently houses the chief administrative offices for Florida State University and is the primary focal point of the campus as seen down College Avenue.

The circle in front of Westcott was first closed to traffic by former Florida State University President Sandy D’Alemberte in 1994.

In 2005, former Florida State University President T. K. Wetherell took steps to complete the restoration work from the prior decade, which included the removal of mildew from the Westcott Building’s front and paving the fountain’s circle with bricks.

The Legacy Walk begins at the Westcott building and its surrounding plaza at a bronze statue of Francis Eppes, a plantation owner who took an interest in educational issues in Florida.

[4] The announcement came after Thrasher decided to accept the recommendations from the President's Task Force on Anti-Racism, Equality, and Inclusion.

[4] During his presidency, Wetherall added more vegetation, improved irrigation, and more bricks to the Westcott fountain to further develop its atmosphere for students, residents and tourists alike.

The surrounding asphalt around Westcott was removed and replaced with more green space and landscaping, including holly ferns, pink azaleas, Japanese maple trees and sago and coontie palms.

Beneath the asphalt, Tallahassee architect Rodney Lewis claimed to have found a thousand bricks, which were reused in the legacy project.

There is a large, marble plaque in front of the fountain with the Florida State University logo, used to welcome people to campus.

[9] Ruby Diamond Auditorium is the primary performance venue for Florida State University and is located on the first floor of the Westcott building.

Originally built in 1911 to serve as the main auditorium for the University, it was torn down in 1951 after developing a settling crack and was rebuilt in 1954.

In 1970 the auditorium was named in honor of a generous benefactor to the University and a graduate of the Florida State College for Women.
