Westminster College recently received $25,000 from the United States Steel Foundation for the "Project for Old Main" renovation.
"These funds will help support the renovation of the Department of Business and Economics, as well as enhancing teaching facilities, improving access, and upgrading infrastructures in the College's 75-year-old flagship educational and administrative facility," said President R. Thomas Williamson.
During the past several months, Westminster's Old Main building underwent a complete interior renovation. Old Main now features new electrical wiring, heating/cooling system, an elevator, a sprinkler system, and two additional restrooms. The classic exterior of Westminster's landmark building was maintained.
The $3 million project was completed in August and the building will be re-dedicated Friday, Sept. 23.

The Jake Erhardt International Film Series concludes with the British film, "Ladies in Lavender," Tuesday, May 2, at 7 p.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"This film, based on a short story by William J. Locke, stars Judi Drench and Maggie Smith as two sisters living in Cornwell in the 1930s," said Dr. Deborah Mitchell, associate professor of English and public relations at Westminster. "The sisters find a stranger washed up on shore and nurse him back to health."
The International Film Series is named in honor of its founder, Dr. Jacob Erhardt, professor emeritus of German at Westminster College. Erhardt, who taught at Westminster from 1968 until his retirement in 2004, served as chair of his department from 1970-1986, was named the Language Educator of the Year by the Pennsylvania State Modern Languages Association, translated into English Robert Reitzel's Adventures of a Greenhorn, and was recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities as an outstanding member.
The event, which is the final movie in a ten-film series, is free and open to the public.
