Mary Jean Mitchell Plaza

Even before the construction of the new plaza, the location had traditionally been a popular place of gathering for the Rollins community because of its central location and close proximity to the tennis courts, the volleyball field, and the residence halls. The Mary Jean Plaza was rendered possible by the donation of Peter Green, husband of the late Mrs. Green. The dedication ceremony occurred on October 21, 1994. The plaza provides students, faculty, and staff with a new venue for studying, eating, and relaxing in open air. The patio contains tables with umbrellas and a stage for student gatherings and special events. Landscape architects Scott Waldroff and Garth Schweizer of the Schweizer-Waldroff Design Groups designed the plaza, while the general contractor Aagaard-Juergensen, Inc., under the supervision of Walter Jurgensen and Chuck Kent completed the construction.
