Construction of the new Woodlawn Avenue plaza area is currently underway on campus. The new space, running from the corner of Ward Street to just beyond the north side of the Benham-Pence Student Center, will include a pedestrian walkway as well as a stage and sitting area for students to relax and enjoy their surroundings.

Alumni award winners throughout Wittenberg’s history will be honored with engraved bricks that will adorn the center of the walkway. Room will also be left for names to be added in the future.

Two flag poles, a gift from the Class of 2002, will be placed on the south end of the walkway along with the 2003 class gift of a Wittenberg “W,” which will be placed in the center of the area and which can be viewed from the air.

Woodlawn Avenue was blocked off in June of 2002 between the streets of Ward and Cassilly to promote a more secure campus and a pleasant area for students to gather.

Funding for this project came from a number of sources including Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, which contributed in honor of its 150-anniversary year in 2001.
The $350,000 project is expected to be completed by Aug. 1.
