Just as the back section of Pfendler Hall came down in February, fund-raising
for the restoration project went over the $2 million goal, according
to Myron Davis, director of Purdue Agriculture Development. "We're
very pleased with the progress of the fund-raising campaign," Davis
says. A mild winter has kept the project on schedule. Completion is
slated for fall 2003. "Pfendler Hall will be the first historic
restoration on the Purdue campus," says Davis, "and it's here
in the College of Agriculture. This is a very exciting project."
By early February, workers had torn down
interior walls that formed the offices of the second floor. Photo by
