Philanthropic support
for School renovations

Patients and visitors to the School of Dentistry have watched
as a number of renovation projects have been completed over recent months.
While some of these were in anticipation of the recent accreditation site
visit, others had been on the drawing board for some time.
Almost all of the remodeling costs, purchase of new furniture, etc., has
been funded by generous donors, including one dental class who chose the
lobby as their honor year project.
Other donors have provided “unrestricted” gifts to be used where
administration felt the need was greatest. This has enabled the School
to achieve a number of important and welcome enhancements without significant
impact on the operating budget.
The remodeling of the Prince Hall front entrance and main patient waiting
area are the most visible changes, including the enlargement of service
windows to provide a more friendly atmosphere for patients checking in
and taking care of financial matters. The new carpeting for this area
was actually purchased some time ago in coordination with the carpeting
for the amphitheaters to achieve a cost savings.
The School of Dentistry is fortunate to have such generous alumni, faculty,
staff and friends who continually provide their support for the betterment
of our students and their patients.
