New classrooms, residence halls, a beautiful place to worship and a center for campus activity are physical symbols of this campaign’s success and of the commitment each constituent has to the mission of the university:
- New Hall—opened in 2008
The latest construction project helped to alleviate classroom and housing shortages. This combined-use academic and residence building is located on the corner of Gaines and Lombard Streets, overlooking the practice football field. The five-story building features 13 state-of-the-art classrooms and 94 beds for preferred housing.
- Christ the King Chapel—re-opened in 2006
St. Ambrose lore tells us that in 1953 the Davenport diocesan priests contributed the $500,000 needed to construct Christ the King Chapel. Fifty years later, renewing Christ the King Chapel required $5.2 million. It was dedicated on the Feast of St. Ambrose in 2006. This award-winning renovation features a large gathering space on the north end of the building, comfortable seating around a central altar, a Eucharistic chapel, and a new stained glass window on the south.
- Franklin Hall—opened in 2005
This $7 million residence hall houses sophomore students in suite-style living. Located near the library, the 204 bed dormitory features lounges, laundry facilities, a cardio room and private bathrooms.
- Rogalski Center—opened in 2004
The Rogalski Center has become a hub of activity for our campus, serving as a place to gather for campus meetings, lectures, student activities and student services, as well as community events. This $12.3 million building dedicated in October 2004, was named in honor of President Emeritus Edward Rogalski and his wife, Bobbi.
- Bechtel Hall—opened in 2004
This suite-style residence hall accommodates 140 first and second year students. Located on the northeast corner of campus, this dorm has a view of the Rogalski Center. Constructed for $5 million, this dorm is a popular choice for new and returning students.
- Rohlman Hall—re-opened in 2001
After forty years of serving as home to more than 10,000 Ambrosians, Rohlman Hall received a $5 million facelift in 2001, a portion of which came from campaign dollars. Originally constructed in 1958 at the cost of $1 million, this building was known as East Hall before being renamed for Diocese of Davenport Bishop Henry Rohlman in 1990. The residence hall now features many upgrades including handicap entrances, suite-style living, and both study and social lounges.
