Campus Facilities

In the late 1990s, JICUF received a generous bequest from Donald and Mildred Topp Othmer. The majority of the gift was designated for new building projects at ICU. Since receipt of the bequest, JICUF has worked with ICU to construct several buildings on the ICU campus. These buildings have helped ICU fulfil its founders vision of creating a residential liberal arts community. The following buildings received funding from the Othmer estate.
