The second floor of Schoonover Center for Communication is home to the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. The building, the former Baker University Center, is located at 20 E. Union, across from the Class Gateway.

Scripps Hall was built with a 1904 gift from Andrew Carnegie for the construction of a building for the university's library. In 1930, the building was remodeled for classrooms and offices, and in 1986, the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism moved into the building and it was renamed "Scripps Hall." Today, it houses the GRID Lab, the OHIO Esports Arena, and other ancillary units of the Scripps College of Communication.

Lasher Learning Center (Schoonover Center 130, photo below) is used by faculty and students for a wide variety of learning and teaching activities, including meetings, the use of reserve materials, reference works, as well as the JSchool's Bloomberg terminal.
