Our Students Matter
Everything we do is for our students, and the facilities they use everyday must reflect our commitment not just to their education, but also to helping them build a well-rounded life.
Programs Thrive in Collaborative Spaces
As Doane University moves into the future, so must the buildings that house our programs. Creating spaces for programs to thrive in their own dedicated spaces is crucial.
Doane currently boasts buildings specifically for art, education, and STEM programs. Work is underway on our new Performing Arts Center, which will house Doane’s prestigious musical ensembles and award-winning theatre department. Plans for a new academic building and additional athletic practice spaces, courts, and locker rooms are also being worked on.
Your assistance will help Doane remain at the forefront of education.
It's All About the Student Experience
Our historic, 300-acre residential campus has long met the needs of our students. However, one of our primary goals is to continue investing in our leading university’s student experience.
Continue Our Iconic Tradition
In the past, generous donors like yourself have selflessly funded the iconic facilities that make our campus the unique and beloved place it is. Your gift will help continue the tradition of academic excellence, personal connection, and life transformation that Doane University is known for.
