Trinity College Dedicates Gates Quad

Trinity College has renamed a remodeled quadrangle in the heart of its Hartford campus after John Gates Jr., Class of 1976, who provided the lead gift. Gates, who is chairman of the Chicago Regional Transportation Authority, is a Trinity parent, trustee, and a member of the Trustees’ Facilities Committee. The design for the $2.65 million project was by Chicago-based Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects. Pictured are, from left, Dobromir Trifonov ’13, Student Government Association president; James F. Jones, Jr., Trinity College president; Gates and his wife Weezie Gates; and Paul E. Raether ’68, chairman of the Trinity College Board of Trustees.
