Just in time for Big Bash, many of the public areas of campus received a facelift that included fresh paint, new seating, display cases, and tables.

A generous donation from an alum brought east coast interior designer Sarah Kennedy Dolce from shea dolce interiors to campus earlier in the year and again last week to unload and set the semi-trailer full of new furniture.

Dolce collaborated largely with First-Lady Chris White to identify spaces on campus that could benefit from new décor. All of the furniture came from Chaddock, in Morgantown, North Carolina, one of the few American made furniture companies remaining.

Among the buildings to receive new furniture the Fine Arts Center, Trippet Hall, Center Hall, Detchon, Lilly Library, Baxter Hall, and Caleb Mills House.
