Capital Projects

The Office of Advancement seeks to support the mission of Chowan by raising funds in support of giving goals beyond the annual fund.  At present, annual fund gifts collected annually assist with offsetting the cost of capital projects underway.

These projects are renovation to current facilities and new construction.  Some of  the many projects underway  are: 

  • Columns Restoration
  • Chowan Chapel
  • Football Locker Refresh
  • Hawks Nest Renovation

Alumni and friends have the unique opportunity to support these projects directly with significant gift support.  Opportunities abound to name spaces, rooms, offices, and even buildings.
