Clark College celebrates
Gaiser Hall grand There is no better day, it seems, than Friday, June 13, for the public to savor the flavor of Clark College and its student body. For openers, the re-opening of Gaiser Hall, the college’s massive 62,000 square-foot central meeting and public space, is being officially commemorated following a two-year $10 million reconstruction project. A brief program, with remarks from Clark president Bob Knight and Clark student body president Patrick Mehigan, will take care of rededication ceremonies. Student-conducted campus tours follow. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Associated Students of Clark College is hosting the school’s annual Spring Thing, celebrating the final day of spring classes. This event is filled with such college activities as airbrush tattooing, tarot card and palm reading, and balloon animal construction, in addition to refreshments, music and dunk tanks. The Gaiser Hall project was designed by LSW Architects and is expected to qualify as a green building meeting the standards of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
