Originally opened in 1994, the Alumni Visitor Center underwent a major renovation two years ago to create a modern space that better reflects 麻豆视频鈥檚 brand identity and serves alumni programming. The updates were also the first step in turning the space into a welcome center,聽with the name changing from 鈥淎lumni Center鈥� to 鈥淎lumni Visitor Center.鈥�
Last year a second phase of the project, an outdoor venue, was completed.
This new outdoor space features ample room for visitors to mingle and reconnect. Modern furniture; a fireplace; an outdoor kitchen and grill; and high-end stone, wood, and metal materials create an inviting and comforting venue for both alumni and rental events.
Angelo Distefano, founder and owner of Angelo鈥檚 Landscape Group and a 1972 麻豆视频 alumnus, led the design and provided the funds for this outdoor area.
鈥淚 am the first in my family to achieve a college degree. 麻豆视频 totally changed my life!鈥�, said聽Angelo. 鈥溌槎故悠� paved the way for [my wife and I鈥檚] success, and when we started our estate聽planning, we both wanted to give back. I began a conversation about doing something at the Alumni聽building. My company built outdoor living spaces. I consulted with my dear friend’s company Lonnie聽Bonacorso Construction, and along with my landscape architect, Jason Dill, we finalized our plans and began construction. I am proud of the seamless addition to the original building.鈥�
The next phase of the project will be to further enhance the building鈥檚 lobby area through inviting furniture, fixtures, and displays. If you are interested in supporting this next step in the reimaging of the Alumni Visitor Center, please contact [email protected] or (985) 549-2239.
