Although the doors to the Parr Center — home of your first-ever Student Union, Hagemeyer Library, dining services, and much more — opened in July, the college threw a big party in its honor this week. View the recording of the event livestream.

The building is named for two incredibly generous college donors, Wilton L. and Mary W. Parr. The college celebrated the Parr family and also thanked the many Central Piedmont employees and students who partnered with architects and builders to create this one-of-a-kind facility that’s designed just for you, our students.     

Local elected leaders such as Mecklenburg County Commission Chairman George Dunlap and Mayor Vi Lyles spoke at the dedication event to show their excitement and support for what the new Parr Center means for our students, and for this entire community.
