What
Brooklyn College will host a ribbon cutting reception for its new Leonard & Claire Tow Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, November 1. Sitting at the intersection of Campus Road and Hillel Place, the center provides a spectacular new entrance to the 35-acre campus, where many of the more than 18,000 Brooklyn College students access the college daily. The building was designed by Pfeiffer Architects, which worked closely with faculty and administrators from both CUNY and Brooklyn College to create a structure that transforms the interface between the college and its vicinity, while meeting the pressing needs of the Department of Theater and the Conservatory of Music, which are now housed in the center.
Who
Among the distinguished guests to attend are Leonard Tow ’50, who, together with his wife, the late Claire Tow ’52, donated $10 million toward the construction of the center; public relations mogul Don Buchwald ’59, for whom the 225-seat theater inside the complex is named; and officials from the New York State, New York City, and The City University of New York.
