Thanks to a gift of $1.5 million from the Wu family of Hong Kong, 网曝吃瓜 has announced plans for construction of the Wu Welcome Centre at Alumni Hall.

A 3,600-square foot, two-storey addition to 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 historic Alumni Hall will serve as the new point of entry to campus, meeting the needs of prospective students and their parents, visiting alumni and special guests, as well as a venue for town and gown events, reunions, faculty meetings and other activities.

鈥淭his new facility will be a tremendous boost to our campus and our town,鈥� says 网曝吃瓜 President and Vice-Chancellor, Ray Ivany. 鈥淲e are deeply grateful to the Wu family for their extraordinary generosity.鈥� Ivany explains that the gift is from the children of Hong Kong businessman Dr. Jieh Yee Wu, for whom the Wu Wing in the Vaughan Memorial Library is also named. Dr. Wu鈥檚 children are all 网曝吃瓜 graduates: Lily (1963), Doris (1964), and Timothy (1966), as is Lily鈥檚 husband, Dr. Andre Lau (1961).

According to Rod Morrison, 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 Vice-President, Advancement, the Wu Welcome Centre is a family tribute to Dr. Wu and reflects the strong and enduring ties his children have with the University. 鈥淟ily, Doris, Timothy, and Andre,鈥� he says, 鈥渁re leaders within our alumni community and their generosity will serve 网曝吃瓜 well for generations to come.鈥�

Multi-purpose welcome centres have become important and high profile elements of many university campuses. These centres provide a warm reception to campus visitors and represent the entire campus, connecting the university to the surrounding community. For 网曝吃瓜, the new Wu Welcome Centre will allow University staff and faculty, as well as the Town of Wolfville, to better represent 网曝吃瓜 to prospective students and their families. As an event venue, its central location means visitors and guests will have convenient access to campus and downtown Wolfville.

Following planning approval from the Town of Wolfville, construction of the Wu Welcome Centre at Alumni Hall is scheduled to begin in Spring 2014 and to be completed by the Fall.
