Expanding artboard from center?

Is there any way to uniformly expand the Artboard from the center of the artboard? I like the way my current page is setup, but I just need more border all the way around.

The Artboard tool doesn't do it when holding Alt which is a shame but you can enter the dimensions for the W and H in the control par. To make it more interactive, click in the W or H field then hold Shift and press the up or down arrows on your keyboard, without Shift the resize will be slower in smaller increments.

Set the dot to the center of the cube (I call it the rubiks cube) icon in the bottom right of my screenshot, and then enter a new width and height.
