Campus Center
Since 1969, the WPI Community has envisioned a Campus Center that would provide a "physical, social and philosophical link between academic (and residential) portions of the campus." (Heventhal, 1982). Competition for future students by the university depends not only on meeting and/or surpassing peer insitution's academic programs, but developing a complementary social community. WPI has long believed that the existence of such a facility would result in a stronger collegial environment.
Completed in the Spring of 2001, the WPI Campus Center fulfills that goal, serving as a place for community, collegiality, socialization, and learning. The program for the Center includes work and meeting space for faculty, staff and student organizations, conference rooms, mail facilities, dining food court, game room, college bookstore, large multipurpose facilities, visitor reception for campus guests, and lounges.
The WPI Campus Center is a lasting reminder to past, present, and future students, faculty and staff of the college's commitment to the excellence and community.
