Campus Stewardship & Facilities

Together, we can care for Wittenberg.

Why It Matters

Wittenberg’s campus is more than just a collection of buildings. It is a living part of our university’s legacy—a space where memories are made, futures take shape, and generations of Tigers come together. By investing in key facility improvements, you can help ensure that our historic buildings and essential spaces remain safe, modern, and sustainable—all while reducing costs and reinvesting savings into student success. 

From convocation to graduation, from ceremonies of faith to championship victories, Wittenberg’s campus brings people together. It elevates our pursuit of knowledge, spotlights personal bests, and unites our entire community in a singular, shared place we call home. Our facilities not only shape students’ daily experiences but also play a crucial role in attracting and retaining the next generation of Tigers.

But maintaining and enhancing these spaces requires support. Many of our buildings need updates to remain safe, efficient, and welcoming for years to come. With your help, we can preserve Wittenberg’s historic character while ensuring a vibrant and sustainable future.

How We Can Make a Difference

Your generous support helps enhance the beauty of our campus, ensuring that Wittenberg’s 114-acre grounds remain inviting and inspiring for students, families, and alumni alike. By preserving the historic character of our buildings and modernizing student spaces, you play a key role in maintaining the charm of Wittenberg while creating a welcoming, functional environment for today’s students.

Moreover, your investment enables Wittenberg to make proactive improvements rather than relying on costly emergency repairs. This approach ensures that resources are directed toward creating lasting value for students, faculty, and the broader community. Your gift today strengthens Wittenberg’s future, providing an enduring foundation for the generations of Tigers who will follow in your footsteps.

Why Right Now

An awe-inspiring campus—one that honors its history while embracing the future—demonstrates our collective care and stewardship. Your support today helps create a welcoming, well-maintained environment where students can thrive, ensuring that Wittenberg remains a place of inspiration, learning, and community for generations to come.

With inspirational leaders, generations of Tigers, and other friends of the University lighting the way, we can ensure that Wittenberg remains a beacon for the people who make this place shine.
