Kimball Union's new Campus Center is almost done!. It broke ground in September. The centerpiece of the project is a light-filled two story atrium. The project also includes several smaller additions on the east and west side of the Dining Commons and extensive renovations to the existing building. When complete, it will provide the day student drop off area and day student lockers, and include informal gathering spaces for students to meet, enjoy small arts performances, and play games. The Assistant Head of School as well as the student life offices will be housed in the center. It will be handicap accessible via a new elevator, and will also house the student store, mailboxes, and snack bar. The outside of the building features a large terrace. A newly reworked west entrance will provide access from the quad to the student center, and will also create a natural connection from the quad through the center to the athletic center and fields.The Dining Commons will also be enhanced and a new mezzanine will overlook the Campus Center.
