Join Eastern University as we embark on the transformation and expansion of Templeton Hall.
We look forward to the renovation and addition of this long-standing campus facility, breathing new life into a historic building. Join us in creating a vibrant and welcoming home for the next generation of Eastern students, along with dynamic spaces for welcoming our alumni and neighbors to campus.
Project Vision
The multi-use space plans include:
- Renovation of the existing building (formerly known as Workman Hall), now renamed Templeton Hall, in honor of the generous support of the late Drs. John and Josephine Templeton and to be the new home of the Templeton Honors College.
- Expansion to the existing building to include a lecture and recital space to accommodate various arts-related performances, along with classroom lectures or guest speakers open to the public, will also support the learning experience for all Eastern students, particularly those in the Fine and Performing Arts.
- New integrated spaces will support the recruitment and education of Eastern students prepared to transform the world.
