At a cost of $65 million, the University renovated first-year dorms, beginning the project in 1992. The Wigglesworth music practice room and several common rooms were refurbished among other projects. In 1997, the University constructed Annenberg Hall and Loker Commons with donations from Walter Annenberg and Katherine B. Loker
"Annenberg is a lovely facility, probably the most elegant first year
dining hall anywhere," wrote Dean of Freshman Elizabeth Studley Nathans in an e-mail message.
While much of the building has been within FAS, professional schools--notably the School of Public Health (SPH) and the Medical
School--have erected large centers to further research and study.
SPH, for example, began its campaign with a bang, receiving a $20 million gift from the Countess Albina du Boisrouvray for a new research facility. She named the center--the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building--for her son.
