¾¨Ó㴫ý recently received a $300,000 grant toward the $3 million renovation of Old Main from the Richard King Mellon Foundation of Pittsburgh.
"We are deeply grateful to the Richard King Mellon Foundation for its support of the Project for Old Main," said ¾¨Ó㴫ý President R. Thomas Williamson. "Old Main is our signature academic and administrative facility, and has had only minor renovations since it was built in 1929. Project infrastructure improvements include upgrading the building's electrical and heating systems and installing a sprinkler system, elevator, additional restrooms, and air conditioning. We are also enhancing classrooms and academic program areas, refurbishing the Chapel, and restoring the bell tower masonry. Together, these improvements will result in an up-to-date, comfortable, and fully accessible building that will meet the present and future needs of our students while retaining its distinctive historic character."Â
The renovation of Old Main began last summer and the entire project will be completed by early September.
The Project for Old Main is the sixth of seven construction and renovation projects included in ¾¨Ó㴫ý's $30 million Shared Vision, Uncommon Results fundraising initiative. The five projects completed since 1998 total nearly $23 million and include the Western Pennsylvania Cultural Arts Center ($1.7 million), Marjorie A. Walker Recreation Center ($285,000), Andrew J. McKelvey Campus Center ($14.4 million), Thompson-Clark Hall ($3 million), and the Memorial Field House ($3.4 million).Â
