The HUB addition is the first major renovation since 1998 of the HUB complex. It included a new bookstore, atrium/gathering area, addition conference rooms, and THON offices. It uses new materials that relate back to the original architecture as well as improved daylight harvesting in all major spaces. It will also be home to the first publically accessable green roof on campus, which is set to open sometime in 2015.
