Bluefield University Spire Winter 2025-2026

Alumni Hall Reopens After Renovations

Bluefield University hosted an Open House for the newly restored Alumni Hall on Friday, August 8. Weather-related damage and a fire led university staff to close the building, severely limiting the campus’s ability to house its growing student population. The university launched a campaign at the beginning of 2025 to fund the infrastructure changes and modern improvements needed to reopen the facility. A $400,000 matching grant from the Hugh I. Shott, Jr. Foundation, along with many other generous gifts, allowed renovations to begin at the start of summer and finish before the fall 2025 semester.
