Exciting Changes SEVERAL UPDATES TO CAMPUS HIGHLIGHT A BUSY SUMMER AT GC
S
ummers at GC can sometimes feel a bit quiet, just a little bit slower than the hustle and bustle of the semester. It’s a time for faculty, staff, and coaches to think long-term, to complete long-gestating projects, and to come up with new and innovative ways to serve students. Most summers, you can hear the birds chirping in the afternoon or maybe the chatter of young people attending one of the College’s many summer camps. It serves as the perfect time to reflect, recharge, and reinvigorate the campus community.
A HOME FOR CHAMPIONS Thanks to a gift by the James A. and Martha R. Brown Charitable Foundation, the College undertook an extensive renovation to the East Campus Conference Center, which has been renamed in honor of the gift. The facelift, which included new paint and luxury vinyl throughout the facility, gives the center a more unified look. In addition, the renovation helped create 13 new coaches’ offices, a renovated recruiting room, and a new student-athlete lounge.

This summer, however, looked–and sounded–a little different. This summer around campus, you might have heard jackhammering or construction trucks. You might have even run into a “hard hat required” sign if you weren’t careful. In total, nine different renovation and construction projects occurred over the summer, all of which will help make the College’s beautiful campus more user-friendly and help faculty, staff, and coaches continue to deliver that transformational Georgetown education.
