Inn of Tomorrow

Renovation & Construction
After years of strategic planning under our #INN2025 framework, we are excited to announce the construction of The Inn of Tomorrow. Inn CEO Jennie Lucca shared updates about the project with our Board and Trustees in the fall of 2024; please read the Fall 2025 letter and FAQs here.
During construction, The Inn will remain open 24 hours, seven days a week. Family dinner service, thoughtful treasure workshops, and other activities will continue on a smaller scale; contact us to learn more about the project and how you can stay engaged in the coming months.
Summer 2025 Updates
Progress Updates
Young Adult Residence: On-campus across West Drive from The Inn, construction continues with HVAC and ductwork installation, structural steel for the new elevator, and plumbing rough-ins. It has experienced delays due to technical redesigns in response to upgrading utilities and facility infrastructure. This phase is now projected to be complete by December 31, 2025. The Inn’s phase, which includes furnishing and fit out is now projected to be completed by Summer 2026. Throughout this past Spring, extensive site work continued with the upgrade of underground utilities.
Exterior Renovations: Demolition continued with the removal of the Porte Cochere, the stone sign at the entrance to the parking lot, and the rear glass wall in the upper Living Room. The existing Sport Court was previously removed to provide access for emergency and service vehicles. Later in this phase, a new court will be installed at the rear of the playground.
Interior Renovations: Demolition of the first floor of the North (original) Building is now complete, with most ceilings, walls, and flooring removed. Work has also begun on the second-floor guest rooms. New structural steel has been installed, as well as a second-floor balcony in the Living Room.
Landscaping: Tree removal along West Cedar Lane is underway to allow for stormwater management improvements. Once Phase 1 is complete, new trees and shrubs will be planted to restore the landscape. This plan has been shared with the surrounding neighbors through NIH.
Whiting-Turner is projected to wrap-up Phase 1of this project (renovation of the north building) by late September/early October of this year.
