Your Opportunity to Honor and Remember To encourage and recognize the support of benefactors and those they wish to honor or remember, the College has identified a number of naming opportunities associated with the new academic building. Gifts ranging from $25,000 to $2.5 million will dedicate named spaces within the new building, from faculty offices to an entire wing. Included in that broad spectrum are large classrooms, smaller seminar rooms, department lounges, laboratories, computer workrooms, and a 125-seat lecture hall known as the "kaleidoscope" classroom because of its multiple and flexible seating arrangements. Commemorative plaques will welcome visitors to each named room and space. A donors plaque, listing all the contributors to the building project, will be located in a prominent, central place within the building.
