About the Student Center
Students conceptualized and planned for the Student Center during the 2015 college-wide “Dream Out Loud” input sessions. That input helped drive the design with the needs of students in mind.

Features include a Maker Space to develop work and learn new skills, music practice rooms and a film-screening room, modern and healthy dining options, gender-neutral restrooms, a fitness center, a reflection room for meditation and prayer, and event spaces for meetings, performances, and receptions. Student employees will also manage activities, hospitality, and other administrative needs.

Highlighted features include:

  • A food court offering daily service of freshly-prepared meal options, including vegan and vegetarian items, and rotating concepts for each week
  • A full-service coffee shop featuring Brewpoint Coffee roasted in Elmhurst, IL
  • On-site catering services available to the entire campus
  • A fitness center, open to all students, faculty, and staff, offering an array of fitness equipment and regularly scheduled fitness and wellness group classes (including yoga, spin and HIIT classes).
