The St. John Encampment Commons also is home to the new UFCU Pavilion. The pavilion offers a space for college events, performances, and activities. ACC broke ground on the pavilion in March 2023. It is named in honor of the $5 million donation the University Federal Credit Union presented to ACC for student scholarships in 2022.
