As part of the university’s Boldly Forward strategic initiative campaign, the Learning Commons represents the University’s commitment to provide forward-thinking opportunities, experiences and solutions for generations to come, according to a statement by the university.
“This campaign – and in particular, this building – is an example of what can be accomplished when we collectively commit to building something extraordinary for generations of students and our entire community,” said University Board of Trustee Gary Cowger in a statement.
Cowger and his wife, Kay Cowger, made a one million dollar investment in the Learning Commons.
The building is expected to be completed by spring 2022.
