The plaza will feature four-season landscaping, seating/reflective areas, pavestones, and will become a primary gathering spot on campus.The plan also features cascading fountains on each side of the new main staircase.

Jeanne Olofson knows the importance of creating a good first impression with prospective students and their families, believing that the “front door” should reflect the quality of the education that students receive from Avila.

The only request of Olofson was to “please ensure that the flagpoles still make that clanging sound in the wind. When I hear that, I know I am home. We can’t sacrifice that historic sound.”
