Building Projects

The WSC was constructed in 2002 and renovated in the summer of 2022. JBU has refurbished all its public spaces with new carpet, furniture and painting as well as converting the previous post office space into the new Schmieding Commuter Lounge and creating a display area for JBU’s Abila Archaeological Project.

Esports is the fastest growing student activity in the US, with over 80% of high school students regularly playing. JBU has an active club team and intramural leagues with over 100 students participating in weekend tournaments. JBU is expanding its program to varsity competition and has renovated and equipped Bynum Theater to create a first-class venue for esports competitions.

JBU’s soccer programs have grown in excellence and appeal, with crowds regularly exceeding 500 people and occasionally exceeding over 1,000. Previously, we had limited facilities (single-stall restrooms) to serve these programs and their fans. JBU recently constructed a new pavilion that includes restrooms, covered seating, ADA access and entrance, and a concession area to meet these needs.

In 2021, JBU purchased and renovated an academic study center in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Lakeside Manor provides housing, classrooms, and dining facilities for 20-25 students in JBU’s study abroad program and for a variety of JBU overseas ministry programs as well as student programs from other CCCU universities.
