GVL / Eric Coulter The final beam will be available for students to sign on Thursday before it is raised into place.
Apr 9, 2012
Whether students at Grand Valley State University will be able to see the finished product of the Mary Pew Idema Library or not, they still have a chance to leave their mark on the building.
GVSU students are invited to sign the final beam completing the steel erection of the Mary Idema Pew library on Thursday at 4 p.m. near the construction site.
This event will allow students to show their gratitude for more than 1,400 private donors, as well as students, alumni, faculty and staff who have given support to the project. At the event, students will also be able to watch as the beam is placed, weather permitting.
Kate Pew Wolters, former chair and current trustee of GVSU’s Board of Trustees, will attend the event for the building that has been named after her mother. Also in attendance will be GVSU President Thomas J. Haas and the Student Senate President Natalie Cleary.
Light refreshments will be provided and the GVSU marching band will also perform.
Visit www.gvsu.edu/library/newbuilding to see floor plans and to take a virtual tour of the library.
