Alumni Center construction is underway

A groundbreaking ceremony for the Hayden-Clark Alumni Center was held on Founder’s Day this fall. The ceremony marked the beginning of the $10 million project that is being built on the west side of Bradley Hall.  Since that time, old landscaping has been removed and excavation is underway for footings and the foundation.  Weather permitting the first footings along the west wall may be poured in mid-December.

The Alumni Center will include:
• A large-scale ballroom opening to a balcony overlooking the Alumni Quad
• An Alumni Hall of Pride
• Library
• Wired conference rooms
• Alumni Relations offices

Alumni Jerry and Marilyn Hayden and alumnus Bob Clark and his wife, Kathleen, have donated a total of $5 million, nearly half of what is needed to build the facility.
