A new three-story building will replace the press and president's boxes. The building will have a new press box, new priority club level seating with a 40-seat president's box, six private suites, restrooms, kitchen, and an elevator. The Mulvane Art Museum and the Washburn University Art Department are outstanding cultural resources for Topeka and for Kansas. Over 25,000 people attend exhibits each year and over 40,000 annually participate in education programs. The Washburn Art Dept. has accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
Outstanding programs can still have critical needs.
We hope to construct a new Art Building and to renovate most space now being used by the Art Dept. to expand and enhance museum facilities . The Departments of Music and Theater also will benefit from the changes to the Garvey Center. Those who would like to donate trees are welcomed and encouraged to support this effort. The memorial aspect of the project also continues , so that those who wish to plant a tree in honor or memory of a loved one may still do so. Gardens and special plantings are planned for various parts of the campus.
