PROUDLY DEDICATED

The new welcome center at Landon’s Wilson Lane entrance dedicated as Harriet Warren Way.

On October 15 as part of Homecoming Weekend, the new welcome center was dedicated as Harriet Warren Way. Harriet Warren, mother of Wil ’88 and Zach ’91, and wife of Ed, was a Landon mother, Azalea Festival volunteer, Perkins Garden supporter and an integral part of the Landon community while her sons were on campus. The Warren family made a transformational gift to support The Campaign for Landon, and we have named this welcome center in her memory.

The completion of the welcome center also marks the completion of Phase Zero, an important milestone in Landon’s Campus Master Plan, which includes several enhancements to improve the safety and security of the Landon community. The welcome center is now closer to Wilson Lane and Landon personnel will be better situated to guide visitors and facilitate traffic flow.

In addition, new fencing and landscaping has been installed to improve the aesthetic view from inside and outside of campus while also providing a higher level of security. And finally, a new perimeter roadway has been built to allow for the creation of a pedestrian-friendly academic core.

In referencing the decision to support the Campaign he added, “It’s great to be involved in such a terrific project which will make a real difference in the future of the school. We think about the time my mother spent at Landon and she got as much out of the time here as we did. She loved the connections with other parents and faculty, and she loved gardening and the outdoors. I think she would be very comfortable and happy being part of Landon in this way.”
