This spring, we started to renovate the Holland Union Building (HUB). The HUB renovation has been discussed for more than a decade and postponed repeatedly due to the large price tag. It is now time to make this bold investment in our future and in the student experience, as outlined in our strategic plan. 

A multi-year plan has been developed to address this critical project that will allow us to make significant improvements while being fiscally responsible. This phased approach also means that the work will be done in small chunks to minimize disruptions to the student experience as much as possible. Much of the major renovations will take place during the summer and during student breaks.  

• improve the dining hall, including new serving stations, upgraded equipment and a modern aesthetic throughout (complete)  
• create an open floor plan for both the upper and lower levels, adding natural light to the dining hall and lobby (work will begin in March 2025 and be completed in August 2025)
• create welcoming student-gathering areas (work on the lower level conference room will begin in December and be completed by the end of March 2025) 
• transform both the Britton Plaza and College Street entrances, making them more inviting and accessible (College Street entrance complete; Britton Plaza work will begin in mid-April 2025 and be completed by October 2025)
• modernize the restrooms (work on the upper level restrooms will begin in December and be completed by the end of March 2025) 
• create a new stairway to replace the spiral staircase (work will begin in May 2025 and be completed in August 2025)
• upgrade electrical systems and generators (summer 2026 through winter 2026)

These changes are scheduled to be completed in 2026. The HUB will remain open and fully operational during the entirety of the project, with minimal distruption to the student experience.
