Work on Britton Plaza is scheduled to begin May 19. This means that the seal will remain in place through Commencement.
Once work begins, construction fencing and signage will direct people around the work area. While some parts of Britton Plaza should become accessible in late fall, the exterior project, which includes the expansion of the building and creation of the living room space, will be ongoing through March 2026.
Work on the Social Hall, lobby and spiral staircase is also slated to begin May 19. Much of the upper lobby will be closed during this work, but pathways will be constructed to ensure that people can cross from one side of the building to the other and access restrooms and the dining hall. The elevator and exterior staircases will provide access to both levels.
The lower-level conference room and upper-level restrooms will be completed in June, and at that time, we will remove the old restrooms on the upper level.
Additional updates, images and renderings will continue to be posted at dickinson.edu/hubproject.
