     LAST TUESDAY, January 
     
     17, was the official re-opening 
     
     of Main which was attended by 
     
     provincial dignitaries, officials of 
     
     UPEI and friends of the Univer- 
     
     sity. The opening was on the ex- 
     
     act day of the 134th anniversary 
     
     of the first students arrival at St. 
     
     Dunstan’s College, which opened 
     
     in 1854 as a community college 
     
     for Islanders. 
     
    

    
     Chancellor Bennett gave the 
     
     opening remarks at this historic 
     
     event. President Eliot, in his 
     
     speech so eloquently stated that 
     
     Main is “...not just another build- 
     
     ing to' be refurbished but is sym- 
     
     bolically critical as the heart of 
     
     the university.” The Honor- 
     
     able Premier Ghiz unveiled the 
     
     plaque, a keystone to the history 
     
     behind the building. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The history of UPEI’s newly 
     
     renovated Main Building is an 
     
     important one to every UPEI stu- 
     
     dent. It was first constructed 
     
     in 1855 for 18 students and two 
     
     teachers who filled the classrooms 
     
     the first year of its existence. Sev- 
     
     eral years later the building was 
     
     found that it was in need of re- 
     
     pairs, when Bishop Peter MclIn- 
     
     tyre of Charlottetown helped re- 
     
     pair the wooden structure by cov- 
     
     ering the outside with brick which 
     
     was brought to Charlottetown 
     
     from Tignish. 
     
    

    
     The new renovations on the 
     
     historic building, which were 
     
     done by the Charlottetown ar- 
     
     chitectural firm of Bergmark and 
     
     Jammarlund, cost an estimated 
     
     $4 million. Funds for the reno- 
     
     vations were raised by a program 
     
     called Challenge of the Eighties. 
     
     In raising all the money needed to 
     
     complete the facelift, many cor- 
     
     Porations, families and friends of 
     
     the university made donations. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In With the New... 
     
    
   
   
    
     “|.not just another building to be refur- 
     
     bished but symbolically critical the heart of 
     
     the university.” — President Eliot 
     
    
   
   
    
     Improvements to the build- 
     
     ing included improvements to the 
     
     soundness of the building, updat- 
     
     ing the electrical and plumbing 
     
     system, and adding classrooms 
     
     and other study space. All of the 
     
     original brickwork of the building 
     
    
   
   
    
     was maintained and most of the 
     
     original window frames, although 
     
     the glass was replaced with more 
     
     efficient energy-saving panes. 
     
     The opening ceremony of 
     
     Tuesday night was met with great 
     
     anticipation by all that attended.
