MacDowell Hall at Misericordia officially dedicated ¢
‘May MacDowell Hall be appreciated by future students who will consider it
their home while here at Misericordia. May it always grace this university that
The Misericordia University
community officially dedicated
Michael and Tina MacDowell
Hall, the newest building on cam-
pus on Aug. 23 to acknowledge
the significant leadership and ac-
complishments of the president
and the first lady.
“To put our name on this lovely
new residence hall and classroom
building is more than an honor —-
it is the nicest gift we have ever
received,” President MacDowell
said with his wife, Tina, by his
side at the dedication ceremony.
“However, it is hardly ours’ alone.
If all the names of everyone who
has worked so hard and strived to
make Misericordia what it is to-
day were placed on the facade of
this building, it would need to be
12 stories high.”
“In Spanish, one welcomes an-
other to their home by saying,
‘Mi casa es su casa’ — my home is
your home,” said the first lady, Ti-
na MacDowell. “May MacDowell
Hall be appreciated by future stu-
dents who will consider it their
home while here at Misericordia.
May it always grace this universi-
ty that we hold so dear to our
hearts.”
President and Mrs. MacDowell
announced in April they will re-
tire June 30, 2013 after serving 15
years. Two months after their for-
mal announcement, the board of
trustees expressed its gratitude
for the couple’s leadership by
naming the new building in their
honor. MacDowell Hall is being
made possible by a $1 million
pledge to the university by the
board, according to John Metz,
chair of the Misericordia Univer-
sity Board of Trustees.
“Mike and Tina, on this very
special day, we recognize your
steadfast commitment to Miser-
icordia University, its students,
faculty, alumni and the communi-
ty-at-large,” Metz said in his wel-
come address. “Your contribu-
aul

tions have been nothing short of
extraordinary. You have provided
unparalleled leadership to the
university and challenged the
board of trustees to do the same.
It is for those reasons that the
board felt it important to recog-
nize your many contributionsina
tangible way.”
MacDowell Hall is a 37,000-
square foot, three-story structure
near the north gate of campus
and across the parking lot from
the Anderson Sports and Health
Center. It adds 118 beds for stu-
dent housing and three academic
classrooms. The $6.2 million
building provides suite-style resi-
dence space with kitchens, living
rooms, bathrooms and applianc-
es. Each floor also contains laun-
dry facilities and architecturally
significant study lounges at the
east end. The glass enclosures,
otherwise known as “lanterns,”
face McHale Hall and illuminate
the sprawling green space of the
upper campus at night.
