On July 9 and 11, Luther Seminary hosted two meetings with Master Properties, our partners in developing the lower campus, to share a presentation on the latest updates to their progress. We’ve posted some highlights (including links to the full presentation) on Inside Luther Seminary: http://inside.luthersem.edu/campus/2019/08/02/master-properties-shares-plans-for-lower-campus/

Of particular note is that the plan, as it now stands, will preserve the Chapel of the Cross as a worship space as part of the senior housing that will be built where Northwestern Hall now stands. In addition, the majority of the Breck Woods will be preserved.

Congratulations to our colleagues celebrating work anniversaries in August! When you see them around campus, be sure to give them huge thanks and a high five!
