The University of Illinois Alumni Association plans to unveil its $16 million Alice Campbell Alumni Center on the UI campus in Urbana on Friday with ribbon cutting and open house.
URBANA – Four chairs in a foyer – that was the extent of the reception area in the old University of Illinois Alumni Association offices.
Now visitors can head to an alumni lounge to sip cocktails and watch a Fighting Illini game on a flat-screen television. Or have a seat on a couch beside a fireplace in the library and flip through a yearbook.
