The Torggler Center opened recently after about 1 1/2 years of construction and 10 years of planning. It is designed as part museum, part community arts center and part academic building for CNUâs department of fine art and art history. The 83,000-square-foot building is adjacent to the Ferguson Center for the Arts, connected by a curved colonnade that was extended for the project. As the Ferguson Center has become a popular venue for Broadway shows, concerts and world-renowned ballets, the Torggler was designed to be a destination for fine arts from across Virginia and beyond.

Melissa Holt admits she grew up hating chicken salad. âWhen I was in college, my friends would go to Chicken Salad Chick at least once a week, sometimes more,â Holt said. âAnd I would go somewhere else for lunch.â Further admitting she felt left out of the mix, Holt decided to give it a try â and became hooked. Sold on the brand and its âspread joy, enrich lives, serve othersâ motto, Holt brought the first Chicken Salad Chick franchise to Hampton Roads.
The 2,650-square-foot restaurant, featuring a warm, homestyle atmosphere with an outdoor patio, opened on Dec. 7 at 2850 Kilgore Ave. in Hamptonâs Peninsula Town Center. Holt plans to open a second location in the Williamsburg area in the latter part of 2022.
