Big things are on the horizon this year at Campus No. 805 near downtown Huntsville.

The former Stone Middle School campus off Governors Drive will welcome new tenants and kick off big expansions in 2017. Here is an overview of what to expect in the coming months:

Yellowhammer Brewing: The 2600 Clinton Ave. brewery is adding 8,000 square feet, which will include new production space, a distillery, event hall and biergarten for private parties and small concerts. General Manager Ethan Couch said the addition will be on the back of Yellowhammer's current building and extend to Hall Avenue.

They hope to complete the expansion this fall.

"This expansion phase was in the works from the beginning, but we weren't expecting it to be this soon," co-founder Couch said. "We needed to see how we fit into our current space and then plan Phase II accordingly. We've learned so much from the past 12 months, and we are ready to maximize what we can do at this location."

Couch said the expansion will create 5-10 on-site jobs and several more in the field. He hopes to close in on 50 jobs total by late 2018.

Wish You Were Beer: The beer retailer announced last summer it would close its U.S. 72 store and open a new spot near Rock-N-Roll Sushi at Campus No. 805. Owner Damon Eubanks has decided to keep the original bottle shop and taproom open and add a small event space there.

Eubanks, a Stone Middle alumnus, said the Campus No. 805 space will serve as a second location for the small business and feature a full-service homebrew supply store, taproom and bottle shop. The facility should open the first week of February.

X-Golf: Campus No. 805 spokeswoman Joyce Skinner said the virtual golf center will open this spring and feature advanced golf technology with simulated courses of Pebble Beach, Bay Hill and others from around the world. The 4,000-square-foot venue will operate in the Student Union Building on the east end of the property.

Vape South: The vape-friendly entertainment venue will launch in mid-February in the Student Union Building. Vape South, formerly on Cecil Ashburn Drive, will focus on electronic cigarette starter kits, mods, batteries, kanthal and other accessories.

Fringe Salon: The 8-year-old salon opened Dec. 1 after a major buildout in the Student Union Building at Clinton Avenue and Lowry Street. Founded by Sandy Jaqubino, Fringe Salon spans nearly 1,400 square feet and offers salon services, hair care products, trendy gifts and accessories.

Jaqubino employs seven stylists and two front-desk workers at the new location.

"The possibilities are endless with Campus 805," she told AL.com. "Our new neighbors we have so far have been so supportive. It's nice to be part of a community."

Stone Event Center: Skinner said the SEC recently added The Biology Lab, a 2,157-square-foot venue that can host 143 in a banquet setting and up to 400 in a standing room only. The AV Room, which will open April 1, will feature theater seating for 141 with electrical outlets in each. The space will be equipped with surround sound, a screen and projector.

Straight to Ale: Boards and Brews, which rents out a variety of board games to customers, now operates from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesdays in the main Straight to Ale taproom.

Arcadia Tattoo Huntsville: Artist Leah Farrow, formerly of Timepiece Tattoo Company, is branching out on her own with her first private studio on the second floor of the Stone Center. The business opened Jan. 13 and is currently booked until the end of March.

Farrow hopes to eventually hire a professional piercer at the 730-square-foot modern industrial studio.

"I decided to open my own studio because I've always wanted to be a business owner and I felt it was the right point in my career to take the leap," she said. "I wanted to do a private studio specifically because I like the idea of offering a comfortable high end experience."

Strong Body: Personal trainer Mary Grace Huber operates the appointment-only business on the second floor of the Stone Center. Skinner said Huber will also be offering yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings to the public.

Spirited Art Huntsville: The creative painting business recently signed a lease to move from its current location on Whitesburg Drive to the second floor of the Stone Center on March 1.

New construction: Work is underway on the third floor of the Stone Center, where a 4,000-square-foot unit is available for lease.

Entertainment district: Skinner said Campus No. 805 must have four active ABC licenses to apply to become an entertainment district. When Wish You Were Beer opens, she said they can complete the application process and go before the Huntsville City Council for approval.

"We are very close to being able to begin this process," Skinner told AL.com. "Once we begin, we hope it will take about two months to find out if we have approval or not. We are very hopeful."
