Pit Renovation Progress Page:
Return often to view pictures and short videos of progress as Widener-Harrisburg's student lounge area undergoes a much-anticipated facelift. The prior décor had graced the space for 19 years.
The new student lounge design is based on the conceptualization of flow. When entering the Pit from the front of the building, students will walk into the media center. This section is designed to hold a small stage for programming purposes, game tables, and a television. The middle portion of the Pit is being designed with community in mind. Tables and chairs will be centralized for group study and student organization table days. The final third of the Pit is being transformed into a quiet study area for students.
Renovations on the space began in late June, 2008, and are scheduled to be completed by the start of classes in August.
