Opening Ceremony of the Malloy Education Center

Friday, January 13, 2012
1:30-2:30 p.m.

Free to all visitors

Join us for the official opening ceremony of the Marian & George Malloy Education Center on January 13 at 1:30 p.m. outside the newly-redesigned south entrance.

Following a ribbon-cutting with the requisite oversize scissors, visitors are invited to tour the new Education Center.

The multi-functional classroom facility increases the museum's capacity for providing educational outreach and enables the museum to provide expanded programming for children and adults.

The new classroom facility was made possible by generous gifts from Marian and the late George Malloy. The Education Center named in their honor is the capstone to this couple’s long tradition of service to and support of The Haggin Museum. Marian was a charter member of the Junior Women’s Group auxiliary (organized in 1963) and George – who passed away in August 2010 – served as a member of the museum’s Board of Trustees from 1966-1996.

Also resulting from the ambitious seven-month construction project are a beautifully landscaped new entryway, reconfigured handicapped parking area and ADA-compliant restrooms. The project is the final element in a series of building improvements tied to the Haggin’s 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign.
