Introducing Alumni Commons

The UK Alumni Association is pleased to announce that the corridor between Columbia Avenue and Huguelet Drive on UK’s campus will be known as Alumni Commons. The association made a $3 million pledge toward the $9 million Rose Street Redevelopment Park Project to establish a fund to support the design, demolition, construction, renovation, expansion and other related costs toward the project. The area, which expands about five acres in the heart of UK’s campus, will include terraced lawn seating, a water fountain feature, patio and garden areas and other installations. It will become the focal point for faculty, staff and students on campus and for alumni who return to their alma mater for events and celebrations. Alumni Commons is expected to be completed by fall 2023.
