Project Goals
John Brown University is prepared to complete the vision for these three historic buildings by facing them with the limestone set out in the original design, and by completing the renovations needed to bring these buildings structurally into the 21st century.
This project will:
- Clean and seal the concrete blocks, then clad them in 1”- 1.5” limestone veneer.
- Fix the roofs of all three buildings
- Replace the HVAC systems in the Cathedral & Engineering buildings
- Restore the stained glass windows
"Within the walls
of these buildings, JBU lives out its spiritual, academic, and civic commitments
by offering collective worship, public debate and performance, class-room instruction,
student and faculty research, and personal mentoring. Preserving these facilities
helps us to preserve our mission."
