In 2019, the 32-year-old building began its transformation into a refreshed, reimagined and modern, inviting gathering space where students come together to socialize, study and participate in the full slate of campus opportunities that nurture a strong sense of community. The project was completed in January 2021, and Hughes-Trigg is once again the Hub on the Hilltop.
