Student Center, Housing and Dining Planning

HILLTOP VILLAGE

Recruitment and retention in Hilltop Village continues to be an overarching goal for master planning. Options that will provide a broader scope of choices for all WMU students in supportive living environments are under development.

New Housing

The opening of the newest WMU housing complex, Arcadia Flats, will be delayed due to construction restrictions put in place by the state of Michigan during the COVID-19 pandemic. The innovative apartment-style housing will offer multiple living styles for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students.

New Student Center

The distinctive new Student Center will be a diverse central gathering point for the entire campus community with a mosaic of interconnected spaces and customer-oriented retail options. The facility includes a host of student-focused amenities and a full-service dining center on the third floor.

New Dining

Located in the Student Center, new Dining retail and food service operations will provide a variety of options, service styles and seating choices in a welcoming and inclusive environment. The third floor residential dining center will come online during phase two of opening.

Housing and Dining Master Plan (HDMP)

Residence Life and Dining Services operations are committed to adding value to the WMU student experience, while containing costs so that access to higher education is attainable and affordable. As self-operated auxiliary units, these self-supporting functions do not receive tuition revenue or state funds. Reporting through the Vice President for Student Affairs, they maintain a commitment to student development and recognize that a safe, structured and engaging living experience enhances academic success.
