Thank you for your generous support of this project!
Old Main is an iconic campus building that has welcomed generations of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It stands as an enduring symbol of MLC’s mission and history. It serves as the backdrop to countless memories and milestones.
The condition of the entrance, however, does not match the grandeur of the building. The concrete is dissolving, and the sides are leaning, making it unsafe, especially in the winter. Years of temporary measures have left the entrance in need of a permanent solution.
We plan to replace the entrance stairway and repair the foundation along the front of the building. The new design honors the heritage of the old building while creating an aesthetically pleasing covered entrance that is safe and protected from winter damage.
Would you help us preserve Old Main for future generations?
The cost of this project is $650,000. MLC has budgeted $100,000 to get it started, and a generous donor has agreed to match all gifts dollar for dollar up to $275,000! The MLC Alumni Association, emeriti, faculty, and staff have given donations to preserve this signature building on campus, and we invite you to join them!
