Perspective
The Eugene C. Eppley Foundation donated the funds for three classroom buildings that comprise the Gignilliat Memorial Quadrangle.[6] Eppley Auditorium, built 66 years ago in 1959, seats 1,492 people. The new Steinbrenner Performing Arts Center consists of a scene shop, dance studio, and private dance studio.[7][8][9][10]
Culver Academies was expanded with the addition of the 47,000 sq. ft. Huffington Library on October 1, 1993. The building provides a southern terminus to the academic quadrangle while affording library patrons a view of Lake Maxinkuckee. It houses a collection of approximately 55,000 volumes and the academies' information technology resources.
Henderson Arena is home to Culver Military Academy and Culver Girls Academy hockey teams.
On October 5, 2012, Culver dedicated the White-Devries Rowing Center for the men's and women's crew teams.[11]
On February 9, 2022, it was announced that Culver Military Academy alumnus George Roberts '62 has donated $65 million to the construction of Roberts Residential Quadrangle that will replace the existing Main, North, and East barracks.[12]
