Improvements continue to be made on the University’s New Jersey campuses. Since our last issue, the University has seen the opening of Northpointe and the Chaîne Building and the first football game played on the newly installed turf.

Northpointe, the new residence hall at the Metropolitan Campus, officially opened October 17 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony conducted by University and Teaneck town officials. The campus community was invited to the ceremony and to visit the building.The following day, students moved in.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony to open Northpointe, the new residence hall on the Metropolitan Campus, are: back row from left, Richard Panicucci, assistant provost for student life (Metro); Elie Katz, Teaneck deputy mayor; and President J. Michael Adams; front row from left, Richard Bronson, computer science and former interim provost (Metro); Dorota Dolata, Student Government Association president (Metro); Joseph Kiernan, campus provost (Metro); Jacqueline Kates, Teaneck mayor; Deborah Veach, Teaneck council member; and Richard Riccio, vice president for administration.

At the College at Florham, the Chaîne Building welcomed its first occupants, the officials from the headquarters of Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, the world’s premier gourmet society. Chaîne is thrilled with the location in an elegant academic environment, said Univerity President J. Michael Adams, “and we are thrilled to play host to this world-class organization.”

Completing the move to the building this month will be the University’s School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management and the Institute for Global Business Education.

In addition, homecoming on November 8 saw the football Devils play against Husson College, Bangor, Me., on the newly resurfaced artificial turf (FieldTurf) of the Robert T. Shields Field, College at Florham. Yet to be completed and added to the area are aluminum bleachers and a grandstand. A press box awaits its certificate of occupancy.
