SHOW MENU Lowry Center Operations As we prepare Lowry Center for renovation, critical services and offices normally housed in the building will move temporarily to other parts of campus beginning late spring 2021. Below is a snapshot of the phases of construction along with a schedule of temporary relocations of services and offices and when we expect a return to their permanent locations in Lowry Center. PROJECT TIMELINE: MAY 10, 2021- JANUARY 13, 2023 Spring 2021: Relocation of existing Lowry offices and services. Dining, C-Store, Post Office, Copy Center will remain until May 10, 2021.

All services and offices move to their permanent locations in Lowry Center. ADA Accessibility During Phase 1 for Dining Hall Access During phase 1 of our Student Center Transformation Project the lower and main levels of the building will not be available due to construction activities. This situation adds complexity for those who are physically challenged for access to and from the dining hall located on the upper level. We have developed a plan to provide access for those with physical challenges. The only door providing access to the dining hall in the Lowry Center is located on the northeast corner of the building. This point of access will be utilized for everyone during phase 1 of our project. For those who need to use the elevator to access the dining hall, a safe path will be provided through the main level of the building. Access to this path will be secured so a person requiring access to the elevator to access the dining hall will need to contact the Cafeteria Manager on duty. The Dining Hall Manager on duty will provide safe access through the construction area to the elevator. The Cafeteria Manager on duty will also provide access from the dining hall back to the exterior door. Everyone traveling through this path must wear safety glasses and a hard hat for personal protection at all times while in the construction area which will be provided upon entry. For Access, Contact the Cafeteria Manager on duty at 330-287-3537 Temporary Relocation Schedule Lowry Center will close its doors for in summer 2021, and offices and services currently located in the building will move to temporary locations across campus. Details on the specific moves are listed below.

About the Lowry Center Renovation and Expansion Thanks to the generosity of lead donors who have contributed a total of $33 million, Wooster has announced plans to move forward with the renovation and expansion of Lowry Center. The project, intended to maximize the current structure with the efficient re-use of existing spaces, will encompass an 8,000 square foot addition to the front (west-facing side) of the existing building and a renovation of the entire interior, except for The Alley, which was renovated in 2017-2018. Central dining will be relocated to the main level to increase its size, accessibility, and overall efficiency. The upper floor will be a centralized home for the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Dean of Students, Residential Life and Student Activities, as well as a main lounge and flexible workspace for students. The College’s bookstore, post office, and MacLeod’s coffee bar and convenience store will join The Alley, radio station and breakout rooms on the lower level. Questions?
