New admissions building to be constructed

In January, the Messiah College Board of Trustees approved the construction of a new admissions facility that will welcome prospective students and their families to campus. The board unanimously agreed to name the new facility the Kim S. Phipps

Admissions and Welcome Center in celebration of the excellent leadership and welcoming spirit that President Phipps has shown over the years.

This freestanding building will be located centrally near the Eisenhower Campus Center to better welcome students and prospective parents to campus.

The fundraising target for the facility is $10 million. Full funding for this project is expected to come from contributions. The College will not borrow for this project and tuition dollars/operating budget will not be used for its construction.

Construction is slated for the spring of 2019. The Bridge will continue to keep readers informed in future issues of the magazine with updates about this exciting project.
