Northwestern College will build $23 million student commons

From The St. Paul Pioneer Press: Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minn., will break ground on a new student commons to be named for its former president, evangelist Billy Graham. To be called the Billy Graham Community Life Commons, the 70,000-square-foot building will anchor the college's campus. The school began raising money for the $23 million project five years ago. A last-minute push helped make it a reality. The architect is Perkins + Will.
