​​Phase III Construction Complete!

Campus Master Plan

Since 1949, Donnelly’s rich legacy of expanding access to higher education has helped thousands realize their personal version of the American dream.

Because of Donnelly’s commitment to keeping a private Catholic college education affordable, historically the College has been limited in resources to invest in long-term needs such as modernizing the campus infrastructure, enhancing learning resources, and improving financial stability. In 2008, the College leadership committed to reversing this trend by investing in a three-phase Master Plan.  

In addition to funding construction and renovation costs, the Transformations Campaign has enabled Donnelly to grow its endowment, ensuring that our mission will go forward in a vibrant and sustainable way.
