Lyon breaks ground on new campus center
Published: October 21, 2011
Lyon College broke ground on its new 43,427-square-foot campus center Oct. 21. The two-story student center includes a 352-seat dining hall, kitchen, deck, The Scot Shop, gaming center, health and wellness facilities, counseling offices, career development center, meeting spaces, student mailboxes and a bistro.
If everything stays on schedule, the building will be completed by the fall of 2012. The project is expected to cost approximately $9.6 million. Funding for the new student center will come from insurance proceeds from the Edwards Commons fire and from donations. The College's dining hall and student union was destroyed in a fire in October. Students are currently being fed in a 270-seat temporary facility.
