It will include twice the dining space, flexible meeting space for academic and University events, a new light-filled lounge for our commuters, an enlarged and improved art gallery, a state-of-the-art health and counseling center, new and improved technology, increased accessibility, gender-neutral bathrooms, and many other helpful features for our community. Our goal is to communicate with you each week as updates are made available. Also, please continue to visit ucprogress.adelphi.edu for news.
