Anvil Student Center Expansion Update
Anvil Progress
Progress with the renovation of the Anvil and its expansion continues on! A new roof has been installed, bathrooms formerly in the commuter lounge have been removed to enlarge the space, and construction of new bathrooms adjacent to that space has begun. The new Patriot Store and SGA room have also been framed out. It is an exciting time to see all of these new improvements for our students and we thank all of you who have donated to this project

As the result of giving by generous donors, the target goal of $125,000, with a matching gift of $250,000 from Michael and Jacquie Cardone, has been reached. The grand opening is expected this fall. Stay informed by checking updates and seeing photos on our website and through social media.
