Ceremony marks completion of final building in Morris Family Center for Law & Liberty complex
聽(HCU) hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Founders Hall II on Tuesday, Feb. 18, marking completion of the final building in the Morris Family Center for Law & Liberty complex.
The ceremony opened with welcoming remarks from Dr. Chris Hammons, Director of the Morris Center for Law & Liberty, followed by an invocation by Rev. Ramiro A.聽Pe帽a, Chairman, HCU Board of Trustees.
HCU President Robert Sloan shared opening remarks and a dedicatory prayer, and expressed the University鈥檚 appreciation to Lisa Simon and Stewart Morris, Jr., children of the late Dr. Morris Stewart, Sr., lead donor on the complex, The Robert and Janice McNair Foundation, and other significant donors to the project.
鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to have Founders Hall II now done. By God鈥檚 grace, we have been able to finish this building and it鈥檚 going to be the new home for The Honors College,鈥� Dr. Sloan announced to guests in his remarks.
The recently completed 28,000-square-foot, three-story Founders Hall II will also provide expanded academic space for students across various disciplines, housing nine classrooms, seven offices, a workroom and conference room. While architecturally mirroring Founders Hall I, the new building features faculty offices on the third floor in contrast to the student lounge found in the adjacent academic building.
Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer Sandra Mooney expressed appreciation to the collaborative team responsible for bringing the project to fruition. She thanked Brookstone Construction for their exemplary work as general contractor, Churchworx for their meticulous project management services, and Jackson & Ryan Architects for their expert design features. She also commended the on-campus project team for their daily oversight of the project throughout the construction process.
鈥淭he construction of any new building requires the coordinated efforts of just so many people. A great group of talented professionals worked on this project,鈥� said Mooney.
Following the ceremonial ribbon-cutting, guests convened in聽The Presidential Gallery聽on the second floor of HCU鈥檚 Independence Hall for a special reception.
