Richard B. Flynn Campus Union


The RichaRd B. Flynn campus union was dedicated on February 4, 2010, following much anticipation. The 58,500-square-foot facility was designed to provide students, faculty, and staff a complex that fosters community and collaboration. It houses student programs and organizations, a food court, and the Cleveland E. and Phyllis B. Dodge Room, and a multi-purpose room that overlooks Lake Massasoit.


The building includes approximately


200,000 red bricks shaded to match the brick color of the historic buildings on Naismith Green


2,700 tons of concrete 200,000 linear feet of telecommunications cable 140 doors 2,870 square yards of carpet 752 square yards of linoleum A carillon programmed to play 500 songs and sounds 12,000 square feet of exterior curtain-wall Countless triangles in wrought iron and upholstery fabric


In early June, an extensive photographic mural was


installed behind the double stairway in the foyer of the union. Entitled “The Spirit of Springfield College,” the mural depicts students participating in a wide range of activities and events. As Iain Bradbury, student trustee, told Trustees at their


February meeting, “the students here must be some of the luckiest college students in the country… the many treas- ures that we have were not born out of luck, but rather they were born out of hard work, determination, and an unwavering commitment from the faculty, the construction companies, President Flynn, the board of trustees, and the students themselves. “Student morale and pride taken in our college commu-


nity are very high. Our students are very excited and proud to be a part of this amazing time of growth and expansion at Springfield College,” he concluded.1
