Canning Student Center
The new Canning Student Center, a cutting-edge 144,000-square-foot building, located just steps from the Foglia Foundation Health and Recreation Center will break ground this month and 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.

Other features include:
Bridge to the Foglia Foundation Health and Recreation Center (Building M)
Vegetated roof to advance the college’s sustainability efforts
Redesigned drop-off area from Algonquin Road entrance
 
Construction Information
Beginning the week of January 20, construction fencing will be placed around the perimeter of the construction site. This fencing will affect the drop off area and front entrance to the Health and Recreation Center. Therefore, all members, patrons and guests visiting the Health and Recreation Center and NCH Endeavor Health should park in Lot 1 and utilize the new drop off area also located in Lot 1 and is proximal to the south façade of the building. The Canning Student Center construction will impact parking and pedestrian walkways so please refer to wayfinding. The anticipated completion for the Canning Student Center is Summer 2027.
