Center
Institutional place name
Center is the middle point or area of something, equidistant from edges or extremes: the center of the room, city center.
It extends to focal points of activity or importance: a research center, the center of attention.
In politics, center describes moderate positions between left and right.
To center something is to place it in the middle or to focus: Center yourself before the meeting. (Also spelled centre in British English.)
