Kent Campus Center
Taking full advantage of one of Indianola’s mildest winters on record, the contractors working on The Kent Campus Center are making great progress. The 54,000 square foot building, located north of the Cowles Fieldhouse and south of the Tri-Delta sorority, sits in the same location as the former Brenton Student Center.
This new campus hub will feature a much expanded bookstore, coffee shop, yogurt shop, casual student dining options and a large second floor grand room that will overlook beautiful Buxton Park. A black box performance space will offer students a place to be entertained, spacious student meetings rooms and offices will provide student groups with what they need to be successful and significantly upgraded, professional spaces will be built for career services, health services and all other student development operations. This beautiful building fits perfectly into the existing campus and will have an immeasurably positive impact on both recruitment and retention of the top students sought by Simpson.
With an opening date of October, your chance to contribute to this, the largest building project in Simpson’s history, is as easy as visiting our give online page, or by calling Bob Lane ’81, vice president of college advancement at 515-961-1417.
