Calvin College announces $35 million expansion

According to excerpts from the story:

Calvin College is planning a major expansion of its physical education and athletic facilities, the biggest building project in school history.

Calvin architect Frank Gorman is designing all of the portions of the project with an eye to sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental quality. Gorman is working with two architectural firms: Holland-based GMB and Iowa-based RDG, both of which specialize in athletic complexes.

Calvin professor Glenn VanAndel is the former chair of the HPERDS department (health, physical education, recreation, dance and sport) at Calvin and co-chaired the committee that planned the $35 million expansion project.

Much of the money has been raised already to fund the entire complex, but Calvin officials declined to name donors at this date, noting that some of the donors are not yet ready for their names to be made public. Calvin plans to release the names of the major donors to the project later in the year.
