Construction on our new Student Center is underway! This is the first new construction on campus in over 30 years. This new facility will provide critically needed space for a new dining hall, a health and fitness room, locker rooms, a performing arts space and a new gym for athletics and recreation.

In preparation for this project, a temporary fence was constructed around the work site for the students' ongoing safety, and the existing field house was razed in preparation for clearing the footprint of the new building. All of the oak trees around the site have been trimmed and will remain - we didn't lose any trees! The contractor is in the process of pouring the concrete footings that will eventually support the concrete block that will form the exterior walls. Construction of the actual dome structure is scheduled to begin by the middle of November with estimated substantial completion of the project by May 2015.
