Story Center

Demolition of three residence halls in Story Center began the second week of August. Construction of a new 38,000-square-foot dining hall in the space will begin this fall with expected completion late next year. It will connect to the west side of Moseley Center, nearly doubling the size of the building.

The names of the former buildings in Story Center will find a new home in another residence area on campus. Buildings L, M and N in Danieley Center will be renamed Reid A. and Grace M. Maynard Hall, George D. Colclough Hall and Wallace L. Chandler Hall, respectively.

 

Elon Town Center

Construction is now complete on the Elon Town Center, located next to Acorn Coffee Shop. The campus shop moved from its former location in Moseley Center to a new, 12,000-square-foot space on half of the first and the entire second floor. The bookstore reopened as Barnes & Noble at Elon University Aug. 22. The Pendulum moved into its new office on the third floor earlier this month. Gerald L. Francis Center

Renovations of the Gerald L. Francis Center on Haggard Avenue, which will house Elon's new School of Health Sciences, is on schedule for completion this December. Intramural playing fields for baseball and softball are being built adjacent to the Center, along with a road connecting it to Danieley Center.

The Station at Mill Point

In June, construction began on The Station at Mill Point, a complex on Williamson Avenue with available housing for mostly seniors and some juniors. While previously planned for completion in two phases, the project has been merged into one phase with expected completion next August.

Multi-Faith Center

Construction of the Multi-Faith Center, the final pavilion in the Academic Village, will begin this fall. Fundraising and design of the building is ongoing. In June, two trees were removed from the future site of the center and wood from those trees will eventually be used in construction.

Colonnades Neighborhood

Three new residence halls in the Colonnades Neighborhood were completed prior to student arrival. A total of 300 students will live in either single rooms or four-person suites.

Look for in-depth reports on each of these construction projects and others throughout the semester.
