This is an incredibly exciting time for the entire Manhattanville Community.
It is with tremendous joy that I can announce that our new building, one of the fruits of our on going capital campaign, will be opening tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 22 at 4:30pm. The construction team has been working diligently to prepare everything so that, when those doors open, we will be ready to enjoy the state-of-the-art facilities they have been finishing.
While classes,WMVL, and activities will be moving in, there is still much work to be done, so I ask each of you to consider these next few weeks as a sort of shake-down cruise. The building's official opening will be during the month of April with a student-centered Grand Opening the Weekend of April 11th. I will keep you apprised of the special events being planned for that auspicious time as soon as they are finalized.
In the interim, let me thank everyone who has worked so hard to make this new building a reality, especially Bob Hall (Chairman of the Board of trustees Building Committee) and Vice President Greg Palmer. I urge you to go in and explore. I think you will be impressed and pleased.
This truly is the dawn of a new era on our campus and nothing captures that feeling more beautifully than our new STUDENT CENTER building.
Use it well and enjoy!
See you there!
Richard (PB)
