The Campaign for Campbell Hall:
Support the Building Addition

You dug in, and we did it!

On February 1, 2005 Dean Karen Van Lengen announced that the School met the challenge issued by the Elwood R. Quesada Foundation to raise $1 million for the Campaign for Campbell Hall in order to receive a $500,000 gift. To date, the School has raised the full $9 million for the long-awaited building project.

As you may know, however, projects of this scale often take on unforeseen costs once construction begins. Your help is still needed to see the building additions through to completion. Please consider making a donation today.

The thoughtful design of the South Addition strives to integrate emerging technologies in sustainable design into the structure itself. The landscape designs expose the natural processes and phenomena. And the East Addition will visibly connect the School to Rugby Road, providing a gateway for the community for the first time in over thirty years. Collectively, all three projects will provide the University with a classroom for design that responds to a changing climate and integrates the aesthetics of architecture with the ethics of building in a modern world.

In their physical form, the Campbell Hall building additions will be a testament to the talents of the School of Architecture faculty in understanding the needs of students and faculty. By integrating their designs thoughtfully into the environment, they will create architecture that reflects their time in history as much as the founder’s architecture reflected the ideals of his time.

In their symbolic form, the building projects will demonstrate to a constituency of historically modest means – architects, landscape architects, historians and planners – that through philanthropy, they can shape the future of the School and by extension make their mark at a University whose legacy is largely defined by architecture.

As we look to the future, the success of this campaign will elevate the School of Architecture to a new level of prominence within the University and reinforce the profound connections between architectural design, learning, and community. Ultimately, the School hopes its additions will serve as models for other schools in the nation.
