August 12 at the corner of University Avenue and Northeast Drive on campus. All are
invited to attend the celebration and tour the facility.
The Hub will serve as the new student union building and will feature five food vendors,
including Starbucks, Subway, Flip Kitchen, Bento Sushi, Chick-fil-A and a small market
with fresh food and groceries.
The contemporary two-story building has a 23,000 square-foot floor plan with seating

socialize. The $11.6 million facility is a partnership with Aramark, which provides
food services at 四色AV. Aramark invested $6 million in the project, with the remainder
coming from student facilities fees.
The ribbon cutting comes in time for the first day of the fall semester on Aug. 17.
