About 300 attendees from the downtown Conway community, faculty, staff, students and alumni were on hand to welcome this addition to the city of Conway.
The approximate 2500-square-foot facility is now home culinary, fine arts, technology and other community education and lifelong learning programs hosted by UCA.
Located within walking distance to popular restaurants, shopping, Toad Suck Square and Simon Park, UCA Downtown can also be rented to host upscale events, business meetings and other small functions.
