East Campus paver donations now being accepted for 2016 installation

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Members of the campus community have until March 31 to build their names and memories or those of loved ones into Heritage Hall.

Inscribed pavers ordered by March 31 will be added to the Portico Plaza adjacent to Heritage Hall during 2016.  They will be added to the more than 1,600 pavers that have been part of the plaza since Heritage Hall on Prospect Hill reopened last October after a lengthy renovation.

The patio is on the east side of Heritage Hall that overlooks the city of Kalamazoo. An additional interactive storyboard inside the building is also available for personalized remembrances.  The University's goal for this spring is to have every brick in the array named by a donor. There are 265 of the 12" x 12" brick pavers and 1,200 of the 4" x 8" brick pavers remaining.

Named pavers can commemorate a college career or honor a new graduate. They also have been used to set the name of a loved one in stone.
There are three gift options for personalizing a gift. In addition to the pavers, a storyboard option is available. The expected donation for each is:

• 4" x 8" Brick —$100.
• 12" x 12" Brick Paver—$500.
• Interactive Storyboard—$1,000.

Brick pavers may be purchased online at mywmu.com/acbricks or by calling (269) 387-8700. 

Brick pavers purchased before the March 31 deadline will be installed this summer.  A celebration for the donors will take place sometime after installation.
