HISTORY/USE

This student townhouse-apartment complex was first named Village “B” to await a donor.  In 1986 distinguished alumni made a generous contribution and the building complex was named Alumni Square.  The men were:

• Wallace Groves (C23, L25) to whom units 1-15 are dedicated
• Joseph Beh (F41) to whom units 16-45 are dedicated
• J. Nevins McBride (CAS29), a former president of the Alumni Association, for whom units 46-71 are dedicated
• Eugene P. McCahill (C22, G22) for whom units 72-90 are dedicated.

The name was formally changed to Alumni Square on May 31, 1986.

Alumni Square consists of 90 townhouse-apartment units with 380 student beds.
