There will be approximately 20 private rooms and suites, a grand parlor, a library, dining room, commercial kitchen and a front patio terrace that overlooks the campus. Prior to the project plans for the new inn, the building was occupied by the Delta Delta Delta sorority, according to UOP.

The college this fall received a gift donation from Regent Cindy Foster and her husband Scott for the inn. “The Pacific Inn has so much potential to impact the university and its students in truly transformative ways,” Regent Foster said in a statement. “Scott and I are thrilled to help Pacific realize this vision.”
