Lansing Lane Dedicated

10/25/2011

Former Board of Trustees Chair Chris Lansing and his family were on campus Friday for a special dedication of the newly named Lansing Lane, the loop road that encircles the Upper and Middle Schools.

Board Chair Mark Hourigan, Head of School Keith Evans and Vice President for Development Alex Smith welcomed the Lansing family and friends at a luncheon and thanked them for their longstanding support. The Lansings were the first to contribute to funds needed to construct the loop road, the initial phase of a plan to unlock the Mooreland Campus for further transformation. By making the gift that initiated construction, Chris and Erlynn Lansing became the first to commit to the vision for this campus that will include a new Academic Commons to be completed in 2013.

Following lunch, the Lansings – including Chase ’05, Hunter ’00, Lindsay Lansing Ricks ’02, Laurie Lansing Gabrielson ’74 and Hunter’s daughter Kate Lansing ’23 – took a spin around Lansing Lane in golf carts and posed for photos next to the new Lansing Lane sign. "We are grateful for their love of Collegiate and their generous contribution to our Centennial Campaign," said Alex Smith. "It was a beautiful fall day, perfect for a celebration of the Lansing family's loyalty to our School."
