On Wed., Sept. 21, Alvernia University (PA) rededicated its most historic building on campus, Francis Hall. After several months of transformational renovations, the University's original building was restored from the inside-out. Renovations include the creation of a contemporary entryway and foyer that provides access to the Theater and Recital Hall; a new art gallery, music studios, and recital spaces; and third floor renovations that added a fine and performing arts suite and new offices. The Francis Hall Renovation and Restoration project is a key component of the Values and Vision Capital Campaign currently underway on campus. For more information about the transformation, read the full article. Francis Hall is a four-story structure of Pueblo red brick built in the California Mission style in 1920. It includes many offices, such as the President’s Office, Bursar and Registrar Offices, as well as classrooms, an auditorium, a conference room, and a chapel.
