Old Main Memorial, ¾¨Ó㴫ý's landmark building that serves as the academic, administrative, symbolic, and spiritual heart of the College will be rededicated on Friday, Sept. 23, at 6 p.m. on the Senior Terrace.
The current Old Main, the third such building on this site, was completed in 1929. The first Old Main was built in 1855 and burned in 1861. The second was lost to fire in 1927.
The $3 million renovation of Old Main included an upgrade of the outdated electric system to meet current standards and accommodate greater future use; installation of air-conditioning; accessibility improvements, including the installation of an elevator; and refurbishments of the departments of Education and Economics & Business, along with other public areas. The exterior of the building retained its classic look.
The renovation began in December 2004. Bridges Company was the contractor.
Old Main is home to ¾¨Ó㴫ý's two largest academic departments, Education and Economics & Business, and also includes critical student and administrative services such as the Chapel Office, Academic Affairs, Registrar, Business Offices, Institutional Advancement, Graduate Program, and the President's Office.

¾¨Ó㴫ý instrumentalists will combine their talents to present "A Senior Celebration" featuring the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble Friday, May 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium. The Jazz Ensemble will perform Saturday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Berlin Lounge located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"The Senior Celebration" features the works of Gustav Holsts, Claude T. Smith, John Zdechik, Johann de Meij, Clifton Williams and more.
"This concert is always very special to me," said Dr. R Tad Greig, director of bands at ¾¨Ó㴫ý. "I am always so proud to see these very special seniors who I have had the privilege of working with over the past four years, while at the same time I realize that this is probably the last time that I will have the opportunity to make music with many of them. Their wonderful attitudes, outstanding work ethic, and amazing musical abilities have been the key to the growth and development of our Music Department."
"The Symphonic Band is comprised of music majors, minors and other students from majors all across the ¾¨Ó㴫ý campus and performs the finest literature specifically for large ensembles," Greig said. "I have the opportunity to work with students from all over our campus, coming together to share their love of music."
Under the direction of Andrew Erb, who is also the trumpet instructor, the Jazz Ensemble will perform the classics from Stan Kenton, Mike Tomaro, and more.
"Come early, as the Jazz Ensemble quickly fills to capacity," Greig said. "Come and see what all the excitement is about."
Both concerts are free and open to the public, although a free-will donation will be taken to help defray the cost of the Wind Ensemble's performance tour of Spain in the fall.
