TIGERVILLE, S.C. (courtesy ngu.edu) — North Greenville University (NGU) celebrated the transformation of one of the institution’s most historic buildings on April 12.
Community members and elected officials joined NGU students, faculty, staff, and administrators for a dedication celebration at the Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center on the university’s Tigerville campus.
“This is a place that has been filled with joy, gratitude and opportunity for 132 years now,” said NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr. “Today, we are celebrating that heritage and legacy of bringing Christ-first education to students whom we have launched into the world to be transformational leaders for church and society.”
Formerly known as the Donnan Administration Building, which was first dedicated in 1957, the Plaster Center now serves as the home of NGU’s College of Business and Entrepreneurship (COBE). It features four high-tech classrooms, a multi-purpose space, and 18 faculty offices for the College of Business and Entrepreneurship, which is NGU’s largest academic unit, with more than 500 enrolled students in its bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.
The Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center also houses the Murphee C. Donnan Student Commons, as well as the Donald E. Ward Executive Suite, located on the north side of the upper level. The suite includes offices for NGU’s president, executive vice president, provost/dean of the university faculty, chief financial officer, and university general counsel.
