Campus improvements greet Bluffton students
BLUFFTON — The lobby in Hirschy Hall is the latest residence hall lobby to get a makeover at Bluffton University.
Students who moved into Hirschy Hall last weekend saw a lobby, and adjacent lounge, with new paint, flooring and furniture, courtesy of a 50th-year class gift from Bluffton’s class of 1965.
The renovation is among this summer’s improvements on campus. Changes in the landscape also include the conversion of two tennis courts to basketball courts and, most visibly, the installation of artificial turf on Alumni Field at Salzman Stadium, along with resurfacing and upgrading of the track and field event areas there. Donors have funded the Alumni Field project with more than $750,000 in contributions.
