The Carriage House will become the
Welcome Center for the campus or "the Front Hall"

The Carriage House, located by the main gate, was originally a home to horses and buggies when the Bishop of Newark resided on campus. Now the building serves as an art center for the University.

Through the Ever Forward campaign, the Carriage House will undergo a much-needed facelift. Layers of paint will be removed from the brick structure, and a new roof will be installed with copper on the turret. The University will also install new windows and remove bricks from windows on the first floor. Simultaneously, office space and meeting rooms will be created.

The newly renovated building will contain offices for Human Resources, Enrollment Services, Student Recruitment and Financial Aid counselors. Overall, it will serve as the welcome center, or the "Front Hall," of campus. It will be the first stop for prospective students and their parents, new or prospective employees, alumni and other visitors.
