Campus Construction

Canning Student Center

The Canning Student Center will be a welcoming beacon in our community. This new front door to campus will centralize services that are critical to student success, convene campus life activities to help foster students’ sense of belonging, and house the University Center and Hospitality Management programs. Learn more about the Canning Student Center.

Note: Access is restricted to the circle drive in front of Building A and the main entrance of Building A. If visiting Buildings A or C, parking on the north side of campus (in lots 8-14) may be preferable. Please allow yourself extra time to get around campus and refer to the interactive map for help with wayfinding. See the Canning Site Plan (PDF) for a map of affected areas.
