Flagler College’s new, multimillion-dollar Ringhaver Student Center is almost finished.

Major construction of the 42,000-square-foot building on the corner of Sevilla and King streets has wrapped up. The center will open its doors this month, offering students an Internet café, modern recreation lounge and more.

“Everything about the facility is exciting,” said Daniel Stewart, Flagler’s dean of student services. He listed a host of new features and activities planned for the center, including Pilates, yoga, aerobics and ballroom dancing instruction; billiard, foosball, ping pong and air hockey tables; movie nights in the domed Gamache Theater; and a variety of food options at Bugg’s Bistro.

The building aims to be the epicenter of student activity on the 2,200-student campus. In addition to the dining and lounge areas, it will be home to the college bookstore, multi-purpose rooms, faculty offices and the student and career services offices.

A dedication ceremony for the Ringhaver Student Center is planned for September. More details on that event – along with the completion of the Molly Wiley Art Building rehabilitation – will be provided as they become available.

    Hi–I have a subscription to your student newspaper for this school year and have not received any copies. The paper was paid for and was to be sent to our home address—68 Ellington Street, Longmeadow, Mass. 01106.

    Could you please look into this and begin sending the paper. My wife Susan and I did receive the paper last year and find your articles excellent and very informative. Our son is now a senior at Flagler and we enjoy staying “up to speed” with all the news.

    Thank you—Geoff McCarthy-Miller

    Will this epicenter of student activity be open all night?
