PROJECT OVERVIEW
Plans for a new JMU Convocation Center were originally announced and public fundraising initiated on April 27, 2015. On October 13, 2017, a naming sponsorship was announced establishing this new cornerstone facility as the Union Bank & Trust Center. A groundbreaking ceremony occurred and construction officially began on April 27, 2018, exactly three years from the date of the project announcement. On May 21, 2019, the name of the facility was officially updated to the Atlantic Union Bank Center to coincide with a rebrand for the naming partner.
