Looking Forward: Closing The Inn

The latest news on the campus evolution front is that The Inn at NAU has been permanently closed.

The 19-room Inn at NAU, which included the Garden Terrace Restaurant and the Golden Eagle Lounge, closed June 30, 2008. Beginning July 1, 2008 construction will begin on a 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art kitchen and training facility which will include demo labs, hotel room mock-ups, classroom facilities, and office space.

The internships and educational opportunities that were part of the Inn and the restaurant are now offered through our partners in the hospitality industry, including Sodexho International and NAU's High Country Conference Center (open for business in Spring 2008) on north campus. HRM will now offer a conference center component to its current curriculum.
