Light On a Hill Campaign
Mark The Way with a Legacy in Brick
51³Ô¹Ï’s Donnan Administration Building has been a pillar of the educational journey for 51³Ô¹Ï students for nearly seven decades. All students have benefited from university resources housed in the building. Donnan has been home to the library, the business office, information technology services, and an array of classrooms and offices, including the president’s office.
In 2024, the historic building at the highest point on the Tigerville campus will become a new resource, serving as the home for the College of Business and Entrepreneurship and 51³Ô¹Ï Senior Administration offices. The fully renovated structure also will provide students with a new commons area in the heart of the campus.
The massive renovation which was launched in the fall of 2022 will conclude early in 2024. 51³Ô¹Ï alumni and friends have invested in the capital project, helping bring it to completion. Alumni and friends have the opportunity to join 51³Ô¹Ï’s “Light on A Hillâ€� initiative to purchase bricks which will be part of the grand entry leading into the building. Each brick will be engraved with names or messages celebrating the future of our landmark building.
