Anna I. Young would be proud. The ASC 1910 graduate/mathematics professor for whom the Alumnae House is named now has a beautifully renovated and LEED Silver sustainable home. Although Anna Young never lived in the house that is named for her, she was a charter member of the alumnae association and served as first vice president of the group. When she died in 1920, the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association and Board of Trustees gave the house to the college in her memory.
It is fitting that the rededication and celebration was held today during ASC’s Alumnae Weekend. President Elizabeth Kiss said that this is the college’s first project designed for LEED Silver certification and called out both Columbia Seminary and the City of Decatur for their soon-to-be open LEED Silver residence hall and fire station.
Check out Commissioner Fred Boykin (whose mother is an ASC alum) standing in front of Colonel George Washington Scott’s original bed that is now in one of the bedrooms and Commissioner Kecia Cunningham (who is also an ASC alum and currently on the Alumnae Board) standing in the garden.
My favorite is the alumnae art on all the walls – oh, and the AIY monogrammed towels in every bathroom.
