Campus interior gets some upgrades James, Basil, and Anselm Halls, along with the Student Union, received updates and renovations in the summer of 2021. “The student spaces were extremely outdated. The furniture was old, and the lighting was poor. The renovations will provide new carpet, furniture, and enhanced lighting. These updates will, of course, make the spaces more comfortable, and we hope to see an increase in the amount of use the spaces receive,” said Andrew Polaniecki, Dean and Vice President of Student Life. The student union, and the second-floor lounges in Basil and Pulte halls, underwent a complete renovation. Anselm, Basil, and James’s halls received new lighting and carpet in the hallways and stairwells, along with new windows. The Student Activity office space and Student Government Association office space were also renovated.

“Common spaces are so important to our community because they provide an environment for fellowship and opportunities to foster deep and meaningful relationships. Our shared residential life compliments the learning that takes place in the academic arena, which taken together provides for the cultivation of the mind and the heart,” noted Polaniecki.
