Pfenning Alumni Center
The Robert E. '32 and Hazel
E. Pfenning Alumni Center, currently under construction at the north
end of Alumni Gymnasium, is set to open sometime in 2002. Named
in tribute to Robert Pfenning's service as Alumni Association president
and the Pfenning family's exceptional loyalty and financial support,
the center will give alumni a central, convenient home on campus,
with ample space for Alumni Association activities, says James Dicker
'85, director of development.
The center will feature an assembly room for meetings, pregame
luncheons, committee sessions, and alumni banquets and forums. With
a capacity of 150 people for seated dining, the room can also be
partitioned into three separate areas.The great room will be named
for Trustee Emeritus Ty Wilson '53 in recognition of his $500,000
donation to the campaign.
Other features of the center include small meeting rooms, Alumni
Association staff offices, a central gallery with displays, and
an outdoor plaza overlooking Fisher Field.
