Mount Vernon Nazarene University: Life Changing
PSU Expansion Plans
Rendering of expanded Prince Student Union
During MVNU’s 40th year, we have reflected on and celebrated the successes of the past, but Dr. Dan Martin, MVNU's president, has encouraged us to look to the future with a vision for what God might have in store in the coming decade. God has blessed body, minds and spirits through the ministry of MVNU.

In November of 2007 the president appointed a committee with the responsibility to evaluate an expanded footprint of the Prince Student Union/Donoho Recreation Center/Athletic Facilities with an emphasis on meeting the program elements of the proposed Event Center. For several years campus leadership has considered how to meet the needs of the University’s student body. With the completion of the R.R. Hodges Chapel/Fine Arts complex in 1989, which serves the spirit, and the Thorne Library/Resource Center in 1996, which serves the mind, the next step for the continued University growth is the construction of an expanded athletic venue to serve the body.

The proposed expansion depicted in these renderings will extend far beyond supporting MVNU's fine athletic program. The existing athletic facilities will be remodeled to serve a growing intramural program as well as to provide some flexible space for a variety of campus activities. The committee believes the plans for this expansion are an attempt to be good stewards and practical visionaries of what is at hand. Some features of the expanded facilty include:
  • New classrooms
  • Expanded health and wellness facilities
  • New and renovated locker rooms for indoor and outdoor sports
  • Outstanding space for viewing athletic events

The conceptual drawings were presented to the MVNU Board of Trustees in the November 2008 meeting. Plans are being made for raising the necessary funds to move forward on this important campus development. We will keep you updated as the project moves forward. Thanks for your continued prayers!
