History
The John T. Brasee Hall opened for classes in late September, 1968. The building is named after a prominent 19th century and ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ Athens graduate who moved to Ohio at the age of 15. As a Lancaster resident, he became the principal of Lancaster Academy in 1824. He went on to serve in the State Senate from 1856-57. Between 2012 and 2022, extensive capital projects maintained and modernized the campus. Renovations established the Jane Johnsen Center for Learning and Student Success, the revitalization of the Wagner Theatre, expanded food service capabilities with the addition of Bob’s Bobcat Bistro, the relocation of the Wilkes Art Gallery to the North Lobby, renovations to the north entrance making it the new campus entrance, upgrade to the Hannah V.
