The new Norville Center
Loyola is pleased to announce
the new Norville Center for Intercollegiate Athletics. Trustee and former Rambler basketball player Allan Norville (BS ’60) and his wife, Alfie, have provided the lead gift for the first phase of Loyola’s reimagine campaign, which involves the construc- tion of an annex to the Joseph J. Gentile Center. The three-story Norville Cen-

campus is one that marries the spirituality of a retreat center with the methodology of a research station. “We have a vision of being a kind of net-zero campus,” says Nancy Tuchman, vice provost and professor of biology. “Visitors wouldn’t bring much with them and wouldn’t produce much waste while there. We could aim to pro- cess our own food, obtain our own water, and have the whole place be an example of how this can be done.” This could also be an experiment in community living. “Working on these projects together gives students a sense of ownership, of participating in this bigger effort—that is very Jesuit,” says Tuchman. These initia- tives are still in the planning stages, but these acres of northern Illinois prairie and wetland will surely expand the horizons of education at Loyola.
Loyola’s new Retreat and Ecology Campus offers a serenity and wilderness set apart from the University’s urban campuses. The site will be a place for academic and spiritual growth.
ter, which is under construction on the Lake Shore Campus, is the first step in Loyola’s plan to transform the student experience. “We are extremely excited about the building and what is means for Loyola’s athletics program,” says Allan Norville. “When you look ahead to the new stadium seating for the Gentile Center, the renovations to the Halas Sports Center, and the new student union, I think you’ll see the campus really come alive.”
KEY FACTS: The center will replace most of the facilities now housed in historic Alumni Gym, which was built in 1924. • Completion date: March 2011 • Cost: $26 million • First part of a five-phased project to upgrade non- academic student life at Loyola
