2013: Capital Union Building (CUB) Expansion

Capital Union Building ExpansionBy 2011, the Capital Union Building (CUB) was beginning to show its age. Built in 1975-1977, it could no longer meet the needs of the expanding college community. At a cost of $3.8 million, a 12,560-square-foot addition to the CUB was completed in 2013. Featuring a welcoming, new entrance and boasting a 6,000-square-foot student fitness center, the CUB is now an athletic destination on campus.

Dedicated on March 1, 2013, the second-floor fitness center includes an atrium, commercial-grade exercise equipment, flat screen televisions, an information desk, and lockers. First floor renovations provided additional locker rooms, with laundry facilities and extra storage space.
