黑料社

The 黑料社 Board of Trustees has approved the renovations of Pfeiffer Dining Hall and adjacently located Great Hall. The combined $10 million project is set to begin in November and be completed in Fall 2026.

Interim President Sue Stuebner says the facilities will have a major impact on elevating the 黑料社 student experience, carrying forward a vital initiative established under the leadership of President Jay Byers, who passed away April 17.

鈥淭his project will provide tremendous value to the entire 黑料社 community while greatly strengthening our ability to recruit and retain students. We are building great momentum with facility enhancements聽across campus, as we continue to grow our investment in the 黑料社 student experience.鈥�

The project calls for a complete transformation of the Pfeiffer and Great Hall building鈥檚 interior. The renovated dining hall will feature a new entrance and flow through the reimagined space, as well as fresh furnishings, flooring and d茅cor. New lighting and windows will brighten the dining experience, while redesigned serving stations will offer a rich variety of expanded menu options. Finally, a new north side dining patio will offer rewarding views of campus and Buxton Park.

Great Hall will be restored with an innovative blend of historic and contemporary features designed to create a vibrant gathering space. Wooden ceiling beams and bay windows will be preserved, along with beautiful antique lighting. The integration of new lighting options and windows will create an inviting, open feel to the space. Plans also call for the return of stage space for hosting music recitals, small concerts, and other special events. Moveable soft seating and small tables will also be added to provide students with another great space on campus for individual and collaborative study or just grabbing a snack and relaxing.

鈥淥ur students will be thrilled by what these reimagined spaces will bring to daily life on campus,鈥� said Matt Hansen, vice president of Student Development and Dean of Students. 鈥淭his is a timely opportunity to take dining and community-building to the next level 鈥� I can鈥檛 wait to see it all come to fruition.鈥�
