13 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GO? WE CREATE A NEW PLACE TO CALL HOME. Singleton, Hitch, and Maida Residence Halls More than 700 students are now living, learning, and forming lifelong friendships in new state-of-the-art residence halls made possible thanks to the generosity of Charlot and Dennis Singleton ’66, Julie and Jordan Hitch ’88 ’20P ’21P, and Sharon and James Maida ’85 ’17P ’19P. The Singleton, Hitch, and Maida (SHM) student housing has reinvigorated the heart of campus, integrating living spaces with amenities such as a cafe, gym, and meeting and study rooms to provide a collaborative, community environment. An additional cluster of residences is planned. WE BECOME THE BEST WE CAN BE. Cundey Varsity House and Indoor Field Facility Just as the Health, Science, and Technology building is elevating research and the Hitch, Maida, and Singleton residence halls are elevating student life, two ambitious athletics facility projects are elevating the development of Lehigh’s student-athletes. A renovation and expansion of the Cundey Varsity House and design plans for a new indoor field facility are now underway, thanks to an anonymous leadership gift of $8 million from the parents of a current Lehigh student-athlete. “This is about giving our athletes the opportunity to develop and become the best they can be. On the academic side, we ensure our students, whether they are in the sciences, business, design, or another discipline, have the laboratory spaces, tools, and resources that allow them to learn, experiment, and make mistakes — and grow from them — as much as “ I ENJOYED LIVING AND GRYPHONING IN THE SHM COMPLEX. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT SPACES FOR STUDENTS TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY AND COLLABORATIVELY IN! THE CONVENIENCE OF THE GYM AND THE HILLSIDE CAFE IS ALSO A GREAT BENEFIT OF LIVING THERE.” Cecily I. Ritchie ’23 Health, Medicine, and Society and Environmental Studies; Gryphon, Singleton House possible. It’s the same principle with athletics,” said Murray H. Goodman Dean of Athletics Joseph Sterrett ’76 ’78G ’03P ’05P ’07P ’09P. The Cundey Varsity House will include an expanded sports medicine facility, a new and significantly expanded strength training area, a high-tech pitching and hitting facility, a student-athlete nutrition lounge, and new or improved locker room facilities for all of the Lehigh sports programs based on the Goodman Campus. In the new indoor field facility, athletes will be able to train yearround, regardless of the weather, exponentially increasing their capacity to enhance their skills and perform at the highest level, both individually and as a team. Together, these two projects will help Lehigh athletes become even more competitive, build the reputation of our programs, and help recruit and retain talented studentathletes looking for opportunities to play their very best.
