This week in Mercyhurst history, we look back 55 years in the past to April 21, 1968. On that day, Zurn Hall was dedicated in honor of the Zurn family, who were based in Erie and ran a successful manufacturing company. The Zurns had donated $200,000 to construct a new building for arts and sciences on Mercyhurst’s campus. At the time, the building’s full name was Zurn Hall of Natural Sciences and Fine Arts. The dedication took place approximately two and a half years after ground was broken for the project. Today, Zurn Hall continues to house the majority of science facilities on campus, as well as the dance and art departments.
