A GATEWAY TO
NORTH CAMPUS
O
ver the past year, the School of Management community has em-
braced Paula T. Agrusa Plaza — our new pocket park located be-
tween Alfiero Center and Park Hall.
Filled with flowers, benches, walking paths and café-style light-
ing, the plaza creates a welcoming entrance and provides outdoor learning
environments and spaces where faculty, students, alumni and visitors have
gathered and collaborated.
The project, which also includes a refreshed exterior space on the southern
side of Jacobs Management Center, was made possible by a gi from alumnus
Russ Agrusa, BS '76, in memory of his wife and School of Management alum-
na, Paula Agrusa, BS '78.
Be sure to explore the space the next time you visit campus. Until then,
here are some photos to give you a preview — and you can take a virtual
tour by scanning the QR code or visiting bit.ly/PaulasPlaza.
