Chatham University recently completed a number of renovation projects in time for the 2025-26 academic year.

Funding for these projects, according to Vice President of Operations & Communications Bill Campbell, comes from the facilities management budget and the annual capital projects and improvements budget, as well as donor gifts or grants.

“We continually seek sources of gifts and fundings for ongoing and new projects,” Campbell said.
