Priorities at Marywood

The Shields Center for Visual Arts

To support the School of Business and Global Innovation and the School of Architecture, we will repurpose space in the Shields Center for Visual Arts. By introducing the dynamic energy of business education into a space traditionally dedicated to the arts, we are creating a collaborative environment that will elevate the use of the building and enhance existing spaces.

Contributions will provide state-of-the-art learning spaces and enhance interdisciplinary collaboration between business, architecture, aviation management, and the construction management program. The Shields Center will become a hub of diverse academic disciplines, fostering a rich intellectual environment. Repurposing this space is a testament to Marywood's commitment to fostering creativity, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration—values that lie at the heart of both the School of Business and Global Innovation and the art programs that are already housed in the Shields Center for Visual Arts.

In Memory of Richard J. Leonori, AIA

Richard J. Leonori, AIA, was a formative part of Marywood's School of Architecture.  He was an ardent supporter of its mission and students from a time before it was even formed.  He was part of the team at then Leung Hemmler and Camayd Architects that designed the athletic center that would eventually become the School of Architecture.  Then, decades later, when the call went out to reimagine this athletic center as a School of Architecture, Hemmler and Camayd answered it, and Richard was once again on the team that transformed this place into the School of Architecture it is today.
