Philanthropic support for School renovations

A worker installs the School of Dentistry seal made of marble and brass, at the entrance to Prince Hall. The project is one of many renovation and remodeling projects which have been completed in the last year that were funded by generous donors.

Patients and visitors to the School of Dentistry have watched as a number of renovation projects have been completed during 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, and more has been funded by generous donors, including one dental class who chose the Prince Hall lobby as their honor year project.

Other donors have provided “unrestricted” gifts to be used where administration feels the need is 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 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 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.
