Development Notes

S
ome philanthropic contributions to the
School of Education go to scholarships
and to particular academic endeavors.
Some patrons choose to support aspects of the
School that are usually overlooked as possible
targets for giving.

One such recent generous gift came from


the support of Vernon and Judith Istock. The
Istocks’ gift underwrote a portion of the cost
to refurbish the first floor of the School of
Education building. Our building has great
historical value as a representation of the
work of early-20th century architects, Per-
kins, Fellows and Hamilton. It also housed
the University elementary and high schools,
as well as the lab school.

Many of the historic architectural elements


of this earlier era remain, such as lovely
Pewabic tile, but they need restoration and
enhancement. In addition, the building
needs such ordinary but necessary elements
as good signage and information displays.

With the help of the Istocks’ gift, the work


of reviving the historical features and creat-
ing a better way-finding environment has
already begun. This work on the building
coordinates beautifully with other design
work now underway on the print and web
materials that represent the School. We plan
to have many of these enhancements com-
pleted in time for the major events of the
50th anniversary celebration for the Center
for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary
Education in 2007.
