The Alumni Gateway Arch on the west end of campus was dedicated with an April 26, 2024, ribbon-cutting ceremony during commencement weekend. Donations made the Alumni Gateway Arch possible. The lead donor was Mike Trewhella ’78.
The gateway greets campus visitors with the University’s name in copper lettering on a steel arch spanning two columns. The base of the columns is Copper Harbor conglomerate stone obtained locally. The main body of the columns is Jacobsville sandstone salvaged from the original Central Heating Plant campus building, demolished in 2018 after more than a century of use.
