Halverstadt and Family Pledge $300,000
March 29, 2000
NORMAN, Okla. - University of Oklahoma Regent Donald B. Halverstadt, M.D., and his family have pledged $300,000 to the Lloyd Noble Center addition and renovation project at OU. The gift was announced March 29, 2000 during Dr. Halverstadt's final meeting as an OU regent.
"This generous gift is yet another example of the exceptional dedication Don Halverstadt has shown to the University of Oklahoma as an OU regent and as a longtime proponent of higher education in the state," said OU President David L. Boren.
"This university has been exceptionally good to me and my family," Halverstadt said. "It has given to us much more than we could ever repay to it."
Halverstadt, a member of the OU Board of Regents since 1993 and board chairman since March 1999, is a member of the volunteer campaign council leading the drive to complete private fund raising for the $16.8 million Lloyd Noble Center project. The campaign was launched with an $8.17 million pledge in 1999 from the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation of Ardmore.
The Lloyd Noble Center project will add a new wing to the south side of the facility, with full-sized practice courts, team facilities, and coaches office areas for both men's and women's basketball. It also will fund significant renovation and modernization of the existing LNC arena. The project is expected to be completed in time for the 2001-2002 basketball season.
