The transformation of the Paschal Student Union Building at Blue Mountain Christian University is continuing with new flooring and paint funded through support from the Classes of 1969, 1975 and 1976.
The improvements are intended to refresh the campus gathering place while preserving a location associated with BMCU memories. Custom wood beams, funded by Lawrence and Myra King, are also planned as part of the renovation.
The university said the project honors the building’s past while creating a welcoming space for current students and future generations.
