More than $26.5 million in renovations are underway at Wayne State University's Student Center. The two-phase project, slated to conclude in July 2015, will feature a number of improvements including a new food court and additional dining venues, new student organization and leadership collaboration spaces, modern meeting and conference facilities, banquet upgrades in the form of a new grand ballroom and two additional Hilberry suites, and new gaming and student recreation destinations. The Student Center will be expanded through the conversion of the exterior colonnade on Gullen Mall to interior space and will feature prominent new entrances, a new atrium addition across from the Undergraduate Library and a sunken garden that will bring daylight to the ground level. "More students are living on campus and in Midtown than ever," said Tim Michael, associate vice president for Business and Auxiliary Operations and chief housing officer. "When completed, our new Student Center will be the crossroads of the campus that the entire campus community needs and deserves."
