The RU Community Center will be CLOSED for renovations beginning October 1, 2022. We will not be accepting any new reservations for the Community Center after Sept. 1.

The Center will become the Alvin Brooks Center for Faith-Justice. The renovation and construction project will take approximately 12-14 months to complete. We anticipate opening the new Brooks Center in August 2023.

Here is important info to know:

  • You are welcome to contact Alicia Douglas (Alicia.douglas@rockhurst.edu) or Betty Carson (betty.carson@rockhurst.edu) to book a one-time meeting reservation for a room on campus.
  • Unfortunately, we will not be able to host recurring meetings as we have in the past due to space constraints during the academic year. However, we are honoring commitments made through the end of 2022.
  • Neighborhood organizations and activities (49/63 and Blue Hills) as well as youth-serving nonprofit organizations will remain in our priority for space reservations.
  • Nonprofit and community organizations will still need to submit a room application and insurance information when making a reservation request.
  • The Community Center webpage will continue to be updated as we make this transition to the Brooks Center. So, check back periodically. 

What is the Alvin Brooks Center for Faith-Justice?

In the spring, Rockhurst announced that the University will honor Mr. Alvin Brooks, a longtime Kansas City leader in social justice and civil rights, with the establishment of the Alvin Brooks Center for Faith-Justice on campus. The center will house some of the University’s essential faith-justice-related efforts, including a chapel, University community engagement offices and initiatives, and a community meeting space. The vision of the center is to “create a more just Kansas City through collaborative advancement of right relationship with God, with others, and with creation.”
