Keep track of construction of the new
Erickson Alumni Center and Marshall University Foundation Hall!

Work on the $9 million project started in May 2008 and is expected to take 16 months to complete.

When it is finished, the center will serve as a home for Marshall's Alumni Association, the Office of Development and the Marshall University Foundation Inc.

Foundation Services foreman Scott Van Hauen, at left, and Tom Brooks of Triad Engineering of St. Albans, stand by as crushed gravel is poured in to a 30-inch hole as crews prep the site of the building on Wednesday, June 25, 2008.
