A 58,000-square-foot campus union building will open tomorrow at Springfield College.
The Richard B. Flynn Campus Union, designed by Cambridge-based SMMA/Symmes Maini and McKee Assoc., will be dedicated tomorrow.
The $15 million, three-story complex includes space for student programs, organizations, and activities, the career center and facilities for international programs. It also has a food court, bookstore, post office, study lounge and student activity space, and large multi-purpose room overlooking Lake Massasoit.
The SMMA team renovated and expanded the school’s existing Beveridge Center to create a portion of the new student hub, and replaced the former Woods Hall.
Planning and design for the project began in October 2007, with a groundbreaking in June 2008. The center’s namesake, Richard B. Flynn, is Springfield College president and a steadfast advocate of improving the campus and its architecture, according to a statement.
