What's new at CCU? The upcoming on-campus alumni center!

By Diane Fabiano

Renovations will start soon to transform Atheneum Hall into a full service alumni center.

The building has been utilized for many purposes on campus since its completion in 1966:

• Student Center
• Little Theater
• Classes for Humanities and Fine Arts
• Public Safety headquarters

Renovations will begin in late 2013 to transform the historic building into CCU's first full service Alumni Center. The renovations are expected to take between six to nine months. This building will be the hub of all on-campus alumni activities. Meeting rooms of various sizes are being planned, as well as a grand ballroom. The lobby will showcase memorabilia from CCU history and will house an interactive kiosk to assist visitors with campus tours, alumni activities and future campus developments.

Alumni will have an opportunity to leave their mark on the building in a variety of ways. Several naming opportunities are available for meeting rooms and office space as well as for Veteran's Hall, a pre-function area that will honor all branches of the military. You can also place your name on a brick that can be purchased and will enhance the walkway to the building.
