 The University Centers comprises three buildings — Davies Center, Hilltop Center and Crest Wellness Center — that serve as the community center for the campus. The unit is also responsible for Schofield Auditorium and Zorn Arena, multipurpose facilities that are frequently used for events. Construction is under way on a new student center that will replace the current Davies Center, which opened in 1959. At a groundbreaking event March 28, 2011, Student Body President Dylan Jambrek and Chancellor Brian Levin-Stankevich announced that the new student center, like its predecessor, Past, present and future students of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire are paying for their new student center through segregated fees assessed since 2000. Construction began March 7, 2011, and the new Davies Center is expected Saturday, May 19, is the last day dining service will be offered in the current Davies Center. The building will be closed to the public beginning May 26, 2012, as we begin to relocate in the new Davies Center. Some services will continue in temporary locations. We plan to re-open in our new facility in July.
