Paul L. Locatelli Student Activity Center
In a gesture to honor the departing president of Santa Clara University, Mark and Mary Mathews-Stevens '84 have made the lead gift to the Paul L. Locatelli, S.J., Student Activity Center.
The plan for the center includes a two-story student building and a single-story athletic building, which will house the locker rooms for Santa Clara’s soccer teams. There will be office spaces for the Center for Student Leadership, Santa Clara Community Action Program, AS, and the Activities Programming Board.
This new building will allow student groups to have an area that is truly theirs and will provide needed space for special events.
Sullivan Aquatic Center
Opened in October 2008
Less than a year after breaking ground, the Sullivan Aquatic Center opened to the Santa Clara community on October 26, 2008.
Santa Clara now has an Olympic-sized pool, thanks to Class of 1959 alumnus Jack Sullivan and his wife, Joan. This now enables us to host a variety of NCAA men’s and women’s water polo meets, while allowing us to recruit the water polo players possible.
Lucas Hall, Leavey School of Business
Opened in fall 2008
Lucas Hall is the new home of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University.
This building brings together student-centered classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, places for group discussions, and creates an opportunity for increased interactions between the school of business and world of business.
A $15 million lead gift from Donald L. Lucas got the ball rolling on fundraising for the building. The list of more than 4,200 donors to Lucas Hall is a deeply gratifying endorsement of our program. It is a roll call of successful Leavey alumni, as well as other business leaders, whose support is an indication of the high regard they hold for our school and its graduates.
The Harrington Learning Commons, Sobrato Technology Center, and Orradre Library
Opened in spring 2008
The new building was designed for our students, faculty, staff, and friends, with space for learning, teaching, and scholarship. The design also makes it relatively easy for us to adapt it to new styles of learning as we move into the future.
Construction on the $95-million facility was completed in 2008, thanks to gifts from many alumni, parents, and friends of the University. Among them are Lorry I. Lokey, the Sobrato family, and the Orradre family, who all made lead gifts to the Learning Commons.
