Alumni gift supports construction of new
residence hall complex on the Hill
by Jennifer Montemurro
A generous gift from
Jane and Dick Brown '52,
of Carlsbad, Calif., will leave
a lasting impact on both the
physical and social environment of Lehigh. Their gift
will help finance the construction of a new residence
hall complex on the Hill to
the north of Sigma Alpha
Mu fraternity.
Known as the Brown
Family Village, the complex
will occupy about six acres
and will consist of three 50-
bed apartment buildings and
a separate recreational
building called the Brown
Family Center. Although
most of the apartments will
have four single bedrooms,
there will be some three-
person units, as well as a
few one-person efficiency
apartments.
Dick Brown, who lives
outside of San Diego with
his wife Jane, graduated
with a B.A. in economics. He
was president of the Harold
Brooks Corp., a fashion
costume jewelry wholesaler,
prior to his retirement in
1986. He and
his wife are
active supporters of the
U.S. Equestrian Team.
Dick Brown is
a trustee of
the United
States Equestrian Team,
assistant
treasurer of
the Team, and
chair of the
Finance
Committee of
the Team. He
is also a
member of the
Silver Stirrup Society of the
University of California at
Davis.
"We wished to perpetuate
the family's name and we
wished to create a lasting,
tangible and meaningful
memorial," Jane Brown said.
"We were told that Lehigh
had insufficient on-campus
housing to meet the students'
needs. Dick had lived in a
fraternity while at Lehigh,
and we preferred the design
The Brown Family Center
Mountain Drive
of small structures rather
than a dormatory."
According to Anthony
Corallo, assistant vice
president for facilities service
and campus planning, all
bedrooms in the new apartments will be single occupancy and each apartment
will have a common kitchen,
dining room and bathroom.
Each building will have a
common family room with a
fireplace and laundry facili
ties, he said.
The recreational building
will house a family room
with a television and fire
place, pool tables and a
convenience store. The
complex will also accommodate about 100 cars, Corallo
said.
The site plan for the
Brown Family Village is
centered around a large,
