Case in point: sciencelabs and the library.The Campaign for St. ThomasAquinas College is the third and mostambitious capital campaign in theCollege’s 56-year history.

Theseimportant developments in theacademic life of the Collegenecessitate continual review ofPerhaps nowhere else on campus hasthe advancements of science andtechnology impacted the need forchange as rapidly. Libraries at highereducation institutions across thecounty are increasingly shifting fromthe traditional stacks to on-linejournals.

In 1994, theCollege began the McNelis CommonsResidence Complex and completed itin 1995 with living accommodationsfor 375 students.The College can now house over fourtimes as many students as it did inthe early 1990s.In 2005, Aquinas Village Building#4 became the newest villageaddition, situated adjacent to theCollege tennis courts and in just threeshort years – the College saw theneed for an extension! In September2008, this newest addition to theresidence complex was underconstruction and in January 2009students were welcomed into theirnew home as the College continuedto meet the demand for modern,state-of-the-art residence facilities!In Spring ’09, Aquinas Village beganundergoing total renovation. Theproject will be completed in time forFall ‘09 occupancy. The College hasbeen blessed with an ever-growingstudent population and we continuallylook for opportunities to enhance the“living on campus experience.”And there is even more expansionplanned, but we will moveappropriately as the demand forhousing and other services oncampus dictate.

Focus on the FutureThe effectiveness of a master plananalysis depends upon a college’sleadership ability to identify campusgoals and engage a design team thatrecognizes the implications of thesegoals. The resulting analysis is fluidas needs evolve throughout theprocess. A successful master planprocess demands a strong collaborationof efforts.To that end, St. Thomas partneredwith Arcari + Iovino Architects (thefirm that was selected in 2002 tomodernize the College’s LougheedLibrary and the Sullivan Theatre) tocreate a master plan for the campus.This master plan is our vision forthe construction of new andimprovements of existing facilities.These improvements will supportour students in the best way possibleas they progress along theireducational journey.In addition to facilities expansiongoals, the Campaign will look toincrease financial support towardthe College’s commitment toacademic excellence with theendowment of CommemorativeScholarships, through increasedfunding in various areas of academicstudy, and the endowment ofAcademic Chairs.campaignTHEThe Santorelli CircleMaster Plan Goals To Be Undertaken In Phases❖ Expanding Residential Facilities and Parking❖ Construction of the Hub Complex including interior improvements atSpellman Hall❖ Increase the endowments and other funding sources in support of AcademicExcellence❖ Construction of the New Academic and Administrative Building andenhancement of a new campus Quad5

Phase A & B — The New Aquinas VillageExclusive Naming Opportunity for the New Aquinas Village: $3 MillionImproving the Quality of Residential Life on CampusWhen a prospective student goes through the process of choosing a college, trends indicate that a comfortable livingenvironment is a priority. Students desire luxurious single and double rooms. Integrated amenities such as laundry andeasily accessible community space are also desired.The current Aquinas Village setup is composed of mostly triples and quads to accommodate the growing number ofresidential students. Today, residence facilities need to be state-of-the art. While the structures may have been adequatefor smaller residential populations, it is certain that they will not keep up with STAC’s expanding student base.On the drawing board are exciting plans for additional residential facilities that will more than meet the expectations oftoday’s college students.❖ Renovations to Aquinas Village Buildings #1-3 and construction of the Student Tech/Rec Center❖ These projects will be conducted in phases, ultimately enabling the College to increase its overall resident populationfrom 600 students to a new accommodation of 745.Designation for Individual Dorm Buildings: $250,000Exterior Space EnhancementsBenches $1,000Trees $2,500Additional AreaTech/Rec Center $250,000Tennis Courts $100,00010

Phase C — The College Hub ComplexExclusive Naming Opportunity for College Hub Complex: $2 MillionCollege Hub Complex ‘The WOW Factor’The College Hub Complex will incorporate current unused outdoor courtyards and under-utilized corridor spaces betweenSpellman, Aquinas, and Maguire Halls. The focal point will be a large-scale interactive public assembly space utilizing naturallight, including a new faculty/staff and graduate student commons area, as well as increased office space and a chapel.These new spaces will support and improve the academic environment and boost the overall image of the College.The now disengaged courtyards and maze of corridor space where Spellman and Maguire Halls meet can be transformedinto a multi-use public assembly space.The new Hub Complex, while saving the current support spaces in Aquinas Hall, would extend as an open-planconfiguration toward Spellman Hall and create new possibilities moving toward Maguire Hall.Uses envisioned for the Hub Complex include student and public exhibition space, large scale assembly space, and highlyinteractive computer kiosks and meeting areas.An important element to be incorporated into this area includes the Campus Chapel, which is being relocated fromMarian Hall and will become a central focal point on campus.❖ An Employee/Graduate Student Commons❖ The Campus ChapelEmployee/Graduate Student Commons: $250,000Chapel: $250,000Specific Hub Interactive Kiosk Areas:Pews/Seats: $500 each Beginning at $100,00011
