Kenneth J. Altorfer Academic Complex Groundbreaking Ceremony
Hoboken, NJ, June 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- A groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Kenneth J. Altorfer Academic Complex was held on June 2nd, 2010, in honor of Stevens Institute of Technology class of 1950 alumnus Kenneth J. Altorfer.
The Stevens community joined Mr. Altorfer's surviving family members, including his wife Mrs. Mary Altorfer, in honoring his extraordinary life and his love for Stevens. University President Dr. Hal Raveche, Chairman the Board of Trustees, Lawrence T. Babbio, Provost and University Vice President Dr. George P. Korfiatis, and Dean of the School of Engineering and Science, Dr. Michael Bruno all spoke during the day’s ceremony which celebrated the launch of this hi-tech facility as well as remembered one of the institute's most generous and extraordinary alumni. "Ken Altorfer's love for Stevens and generosity serve as an illuminating example for the entire alumni community." - Dr. George P. Korfiatis
The Kenneth J. Altorfer Academic Complex begins construction in early July and is expected to be completed before the New Year. It will be a 5 story, 13,500sq ft space, located on the southern half of Stevens campus. Initially used for faculty offices, eventually the first two floors will be for classrooms and a graduate student research center. As enrollment continues to expand and prestigious new faculty continue joining Stevens, space is at a premium. This new complex will be a vital resource in providing for these ever expanding capacities and ensuring an optimal learning environment.
Mr. Altorfer was a major contributor in infrastructure enhancements on campus. His gracious endowment for the Babbio Center Auditorium has served host for countless students and prestigious speakers from around the world.
