Wabash College broke ground on its new community center at a brief ceremony on Saturday.
The 56,000 square-foot building will be located in the heart of campus and will serve as a community gathering space, featuring main-floor dining for over 200 people and flexible upper-level event space for gatherings of 12-250. The community center includes a restaurant and pub, game room, living room, and swag shop.
“The new community center will bring town and gown together for meetings, fundraisers, and celebrations,” said Wabash President Scott Feller. “We are excited for the endless opportunities the new building will provide for our students, but it will also be the place where our students can work with and learn from our neighbors and nonprofits. By working together, we will strengthen our community in every possible way.”
Wabash is finalizing financing for the new facility, which will replace the 70-year-old Sparks Center. It is hoped that the Sparks Center will be razed this spring with construction to follow.
