Liberty University announced a new Student Center to be built for students and faculty to enjoy come the fall semester of 2016, which will not only include more dining, but gaming stations and plenty of lounge seating.

“When I first heard about the new student center being built, the first thought that came to me was food. I love the choices that our school has already but I would not mind more,”  said Cassidy Stegall, a student at Liberty University.

Liberty wants students to experience a more diverse dining and is excited about the new restaurants being added.

• Garbonzo’s (Mediterranean)
• Star Ginger (Asian)
• UFood (Burgers)
• Argo Tea
• The Grid Marketplace (A convenience store)

All these new restaurants being added are grabbing attention and students are anxious to try the food out.

This new facility will be a place for students to come together to socialize and take breaks after classes are done. The student center will be on the first floor of Demoss which is expanding 150 thousand square-foot and adding four floors. Not only will there be new dining but gaming, an eight-lane bowling alley and plenty of lounge seating throughout the floor to enhance relaxation.

“I definitely think this will grab more attention for students to come and hangout other than the C-lab and Tilley, especially since it is closer to campus grounds and walking distance from the other buildings around,” said Samantha Bastone, a student at Liberty University.

Student activities will be handling entertainment to attract attention for students on new things coming to Liberty. Students are loving that it is in Demoss building since all the main classes are located there and it is an easy way out to just hangout and get some work done as well. Faculty and students are already loving the idea of the new student center location, and of course the new lounging couches for them to de-stress.

“To finally see it come to fruition is a real thrill for me,” commented President Falwell as he spoke about all the other construction being done around campus.

It looks like Liberty is ready to be done building as well but who knows what else is yet to come. They strive to be able to reach other people and have theme experience what this college has to offer.
