Grove City College recently received a $50,000 grant from the George I. Alden Trust for the college’s new science, engineering and mathematics building.

Construction of the new building is a component of Grove City Matters: A Campaign to Advance Grove City College, which at $90 million is the largest capital campaign in the college’s history.

The new building will enable Grove City to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated technology and interdisciplinary research; offer expanded lab and study spaces that foster opportunities for collaborative interactions, similar to what students will find in the workplace; attract world-class faculty with a passion for teaching; and recruit talented students to achieve a sciences enrollment goal of 40 percent of the college population.

“We thank the George I. Alden Trust for their support of the new science, engineering and mathematics building,” said Stacy Birmingham, dean for the Albert A. Hopeman Jr. School of Science, Engineering and Mathematics.
