The Alumni Way project was launched with the dedication of the John Rovano Plaza in October 2013. The Plaza, named for the long-serving director of facilities, affords an outdoor seating extension to the Library Café and is located between the Van Pelt and Opie Library and Rekhi Hall.
The plaza was made possible through a gift from David Brule Sr. (1972), who has supported a number of campus improvement projects in addition to numerous student initiatives and scholarships.
