Ground Breaking Ceremony for Campus Center

Mars Hill University will hold a ceremony to formally break ground for construction of the new campus center on Friday, March 22, at 2 p.m. (rain location is Marshbanks Hall). A reception will follow in Day Hall. In recognition of the campus center’s impact on the student experience, a group of students will use ceremonial shovels to break ground on the construction site.

The $28 million campus center will feature student activity space, a student fitness center, gaming, dining area, and a welcoming space for our admissions office, Cothran Center for Career Readiness, chaplain’s office, student life, and student organizations. Construction will involve renovating and expanding the existing Blackwell Hall building and creating accessible outdoor spaces adjacent to it.
