A Place to Gather.....


Before

Have you seen our new outdoor space on campus? If you haven’t had a chance, please stop by the area between A-building and B-building at your convenience. In our desire to create a more inviting campus, a beautifully landscaped outdoor space, with tables, chairs, and umbrellas, has been established for faculty, staff, and students to gather, learn, socialize, and eat. Your feedback in the planning process helped bring this concept to fruition.

 
After
The reality of this outdoor space is just the beginning of Phase I of the Campus Master Plan. The Plan also establishes a Learning Commons that will essentially serve as the hub of campus and will house the library, bookstore, learning support, private study areas, group collaboration areas, and a substantial food service operation. The purpose of the Learning Commons is to create an atmosphere of community and a place for students and employees to gather.

I will keep you abreast as we move forward on Phase 1 of the Campus Master Plan. Enjoy our new outdoor gathering space!

This is wonderful! I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy it, but I am certain to spend time there in the days to come. Great step in the bright direction!
