University Event Center
Project Description
With a graduation seating capacity of nearly 6,000, the University will be able to continue its long-held tradition of allowing every graduating student the privilege of bringing their whole family to the celebration. As many of the students are first generation college graduates, this tradition is an emotional one that brings a feeling of pride as the University brings the ceremony back to campus.
