St. Anselm’s Student Center Site Plan
Originally built in 1960, the existing building will undergo a transformation to increase functionality by updating and enlarging space for community gathering and activities for today’s students. Academic, spiritual and social components of college life will be integrated into one central hub, continuing the College’s commitment to living learning communities. New features will include a campus store/bookstore, a café, a second floor glass-windowed function room, and a 250-seat auditorium.
Completion of the new facility is expected in early 2018.
