The summer of 2016 is one of the most active construction periods of all time on River Campus. Multiple new facilities and improvement projects are currently underway, with many scheduled to be completed by the fall.

Construction will begin this summer on a new 72,000 square- foot residence hall on River Campus that will house 151 first-year students and is scheduled to open in fall 2017.

The Interfaith Chapel sanctuary is being renovated to accommodate an increasingly diverse religious and spiritual campus community. Updates include new carpeting, a handicap-accessible lectern platform, a hearing loop to improve sound quality for the hearing-impaired, and expanded seating for up to 500 people.

The Wentworths made the gift “in grateful appreciation to the University for its mission of education and research,” designating it to the “long-term facility needs of the Warner School of Education.”
