Dear Assumption Students,
Are you ready to return to campus, or for first-year students, start your University journey? While you’ve been enjoying the summer, we’ve made a number of improvements across campus to enhance your experience at Assumption! Below, please find some of the notable changes you’ll see when you arrive on campus in a few weeks:
- Construction on the Health Sciences Building is complete.
- A new green space is being created next to the Health Sciences Building.
- To better serve and connect with all Hounds, the Office of Student Affairs relocated to Hagan Campus Center.
- Earlier this summer, the Testing Center moved from the Plourde to Hagan Hall, where it will remain this fall for your convenience.
- Parking Lot M, next to Plough Hall, was expanded to include additional parking spaces.
- As we prepare for renovations to Marois Field, additional parking is being created by Authier Hall.
- The bathrooms in Salisbury Hall were renovated.
- Dunkin’ Donuts decided to close the Hagan location. This was not a decision made by the University. However, to continue to serve students, the construction of a new café is underway which will feature an extensive menu. The new café in Hagan will serve Caribou Coffee, featuring premium espresso beverages along with light, medium, dark, and flavored roasts and accompanied by innovative and trendy drink options. The café will also serve fresh-baked muffins, donuts, croissants, cinnamon rolls, sweetbreads, bagels, made-to-order breakfast sandwiches, as well as Simply to Go items such as yogurt parfaits, fruit and veggie cups.
- The flooring in the Remillard Field House in the Plourde Recreation Center is being replaced.
- A jumbotron is being installed in the Brian Kelly '83 Stadium (formerly the Multi-Sport Stadium) to enhance the student-athlete and fan experience.
We can’t wait for you to see – and enjoy – these campus enhancements at the University. As work on these projects concludes and continues, we look forward to welcoming you back to campus!
Sincerely,
Peter Wells
Vice President for Finance & Administration
