You have a CENTREX switch?  I'm confused.

Do you have a PBX?
Do you pay for Centrex services from your phone company?
Do you have a Class 5 swith with Centrex features?

Why not take a cautious approach?

Leave what you have in place.  Install Asterisk and investigate the
various line interface options.  Enlist early adopters on your campus to
participate in the trial.  Connect Asterisk to your existing system with
PRI.  Gradually ramp up the Asterisk system and ramp down the existing
system.
