STUDENT HANDBOOK - Lindenwood University - Belleville

Men’s Residence Hall (anticipated fall 2014)
In February 2014, the University broke ground for a new men’s residence hall capable
of housing approximately 200 students. The building accomodates three students
per room with two large community restrooms on each floor. There will also be three
lounge areas for the students to play games, socialize, or study. The new residence hall is
a $4 million project and is projected to be completed this fall.
Soccer Field (2009)
Home to the men’s and women’s soccer teams, Lindenwood Belleville’s soccer field
was previously the Belleville West High School track. The first soccer game was
played on the field in 2009. This facility hosts the annual Mayor’s Cup Match between
Lindenwood Belleville and Southwestern Illinois College.
Tennis Courts (2010)
The men’s and women’s tennis teams compete at the Lindenwood Belleville Tennis
Complex on campus.
The complex is located on campus right off Belleville’s Main Street, offering a great
atmosphere for matches. The renovated courts have become a top quality facility in
which to play.
U.S. Senator Alan J. Dixon Student Center (1957)
Belleville West High School used this building as a cafeteria, art room, band facility,
chorus room, and bookstore. Exterior renovations were completed in 2008, and work
on the interior was completed in the summer of 2011. The U.S. Senator Alan J. Dixon
Student Center was named after former Illinois Senator Alan Dixon, who graduated
from Belleville Township High School on this campus and went on to pioneer issues
in education, co-sponsoring legislation that brought the community college system to
Illinois for the first time.
The Dixon Student Center currently houses Lindenwood Belleville’s dining hall, spirit
shop, bookstore, student lounge, band room, and Admissions Center for day, evening,
and graduate students.
The Welcome Center (2010)
The Welcome Center is adjacent to Lindenwood Auditorium. This annex offers ample
reception space for large gatherings, as well as an expanded lobby for events in the
auditorium. The Welcome Center serves as a venue for community events and the
Lindenwood Unversity-Bellville gallery space. In 2010 the John and Susan Horstman
Collection was the first art exhibit in the space, followed by the Brother Mel Meyer Art/
Sculpture Collection in 2011. More recently, exhibitions mounted in the gallery have
included a series of Olympic poster art sponsored by Fine Arts Limited and a stirring
series of pieces by the Falun Gong international organization. At times when special
exhibitions are not hanging in the gallery space, individuals can view the works of
Lindenwood alumnus, Chen chu-nan.
The center was designed by Ittner Architects, the same firm that created the original
floorplan for the Lindenwood Auditorium when it was constructed in 1924.
