All will reopen Monday, Dec. 29. Stewart Center will close at 5 p.m. Dec. 31 and reopen Jan. 5. The Union will close at 11 p.m. Dec. 31 and reopen Jan. 3. The hotel will remain open through that period. A summary of hours of the buildings, Union restaurants and other details is available in a PDF here.
