The Fenstemaker Alumni House doubled in size with the completion of a 2,700-square-foot addition.
Featuring a great room named in honor of the late Curtis R. English, former university president, the
addition was dedicated during Homecoming Weekend. Funded by the Alumni Association and
Bloomsburg University Foundation Inc., the $480,000 project includes two accessible restrooms, a kitchen,
coatroom and storage area. The Fenstemaker Alumni House, shown from the parking area, has been
