Oliver LaGrone Cultural Arts Center
The Oliver LaGrone Cultural Arts Center is used to host guest speakers, receptions, international programs, and other cultural events.
In honor of the late LaGrone, a room was dedicated in his honor to celebrate his life and legacy, and allocate space for a black cultural arts center on the campus.
Currently on the first floor of the Olmsted Building west wing (Room W-132), the room features a unique mural, in part finished by students, faculty, and staff, that traces important events in African-American history, including images of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Muhammad Ali, and Louis Armstrong. The room also houses sculptures by LaGrone, which highlight his talent and celebrate diversity.
