Building Furman’s Future With the start of a new decade. Furman University laid the foundation for far-reaching improvements throughout the university. In 1980 Furman officials announced the beginning of a three-year. $30 million “Campaign for Furman's Future.” Funds raised during the campaign will be used to renovate or repair old buildings and build new ones, increase scholarship aid and strengthen academic programs. The most obvious sign of change over the year was the construction on campus, which began in the summer of 1980. A ground-breaking ceremony for Earle Infirmary was held in July, and construction began almost immediately. When completed. the new infirmary will also house the admissions and financial aid offices. Construction was also begun on the long-awaited stadium, where the first football game will be played in the fall of 1981. Expansion of Watkins Student Center provided more badly-needed space for student organizations.
