Construction is underway on Howard Payne’s Newbury Family Welcome Center, the first new construction project at HPU in 20 years. The welcome center is a 7,800 square foot facility that will have both a modern as well as a retro look. The exterior will be brick that’s a complement between Mims Auditorium and the Walker Memorial Library, as well as a lot of glass that provides for clean access on the way in. The current timetable for completion is February 2022.
The original intent was for the construction of the facility to be further along at this point, but COVID-19 – like with most plans in the last year – played a significant role in the change.
