Our Ford Center is known for its beautiful surroundings. Recent improvements have made the facility itself more beautiful.
Michigan Tech students, faculty, staff, and the greater community are invited to a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the completion of the new Danis room and patio area at the Ford Center. The event takes place at 3 p.m. Tuesday, October 1 at the Ford Center in Alberta.
Please pre-register to help organizers know how many to expect.
The patio was made possible through a brick paver campaign that wrapped up July 4. The College appreciates the contributions of alumni and friends who purchased commemorative engravings for the spacious and welcoming addition to the Center.
The Danis room doubles the size of the previous meeting space to 80-plus seating capacity. The project also included technology upgrades, including three large monitors and a central, computerized operating system. It was made possible through the generosity of Steve Danis, ’53.
In addition to the students and faculty who make use of the Center, it provides vibrant spaces for both Michigan Tech and non-affiliated agency and community groups.
University leadership will be on hand to mark the occasion. Light appetizers will be served.
