Did you know?

Did you know that a massive concrete retaining wall was built between the new Gallogly Events Center and the hill leading up to the bluffs? According to Jeff Davis, executive director of Auxiliary Services, this separate wall was necessary to structurally hold back the hill given the unique soil types and clays that compose it. It also has space to allow for water to drain off the hill. The wall alone added nearly a million dollars to the cost of the new building, proving that the unique shape and structure of our campus property adds to the beauty of our school while simultaneously making it one of the most architecturally-challenging.
