This specially designed building allows for a quiet retreat where honors students can study, work with personal computers and attend receptions.

International teleconferencing is one example of the technological advances available to students in Mandeville Hall. Its many features include the area’s first true teletorium, a 175-person amphitheater equipped with satellite broadcast and down-link technology, docu-cameras, full sound and projection systems, and laptop Internet ports at every seat. Teletorium events may also be carried via closed circuit to several other video outlets in the building.

The Student Arts Festival follows with an all-day celebration of art, music, and theater.
