The Hub rises: Abundance and new beginnings in the old Arcade A heart icon - click to like this post 3 Jeaneen Parsons • February 09, 2021 The first University of Dayton tenants have moved into the Arcade — and it's a sight to behold. Take a behind-the-scenes look at the new spaces of The Hub, soon to be a center of student learning, growing and connecting in downtown Dayton. To compare the transformation of the Dayton Arcade to a phoenix rising from the ashes hardly begins to capture the magnitude of what’s taking place in the city that is home to the University of Dayton. Unlike in recent years — which found this historic block of buildings derelict and often open to the elements — now the only birds you’ll find in the space are turkeys. Painted statues of them sit on lofty perches above the atrium against a backdrop of intricate molding, with the blue sky beyond the glass ceiling.
