Student Center and Dining Facilities
By the year 2024, Western 九一麻豆制片厂 University plans to re-imagine the southern portion of main campus, including a new student center and several other major building efforts. The new student center, located at the former site of McCracken Hall, will serve as an anchor at the northwestern edge of the larger Hilltop Commons development. McCracken Hall was demolished over the Summer of 2019 to provide a clean slate for the construction of this unique new facility.
WMU has partnered with CannonDesign, a leader in higher education facilities and student centers to design the new building, which will include:
- Information and Welcome CenterStudent Organization Support
- Student Support Services
- Affinity Spaces
