About Michael and Mary Jaharis

portrait of Michael and Mary Jaharis

The main gift for the building, also the largest gift received in school history, was a donation from the late Michael Jaharis, his wife Mary and the Jaharis Family Foundation. Jaharis was a 1950 graduate of Carroll.

By naming the facility the Michael and Mary Jaharis Science Laboratories, we not only recognize this magnanimous and prominent alumnus and his family, but also his renowned business acumen in the biopharmaceuticals industry, his philanthropy on an international scale, his profound life of lived faith and his deep appreciation for family. 

在很多方面 he lived the 威尼斯游戏大厅 mission—grounded in the liberal arts preparing students for vocational success, lifelong learning and service in a diverse and global society. We are most grateful for this support and honored to have the Jaharis name on this building.

项目背景

威尼斯游戏大厅's $24 million, Michael and Mary Jaharis Science Laboratories is a project ingrained with the pioneering spirit of Wisconsin's first institution of higher education. The building was the initial step of a three-phase project to "improve academic quality and strengthen the core educational experience for students.在开幕式上, the facility became the first new academic building to be constructed on campus in more than 50 years. 

The building came at a time of necessity, as nearly two-thirds of Carroll students major in the sciences. The university is especially strong in the health and medical science fields and has experienced unprecedented demand for programs in the fields of nursing, 医师助理研究, 物理治疗, 公共卫生, psychology and exercise science/physiology.

History of the building site

The Michael and Mary Jaharis Science Laboratories now stands where Maxon Hall once was. That  building was named after Howard L. Maxon, who attended what was then Carroll College and graduated in 1886. After graduation, he went on to be a banker, lawyer and land manager. 1957年，麦克森去世, 他留下了65美元,000 to Carroll and those funds were used to construct Maxon Hall.

The Maxon Hall project broke ground in 1960, and opened its doors to faculty, staff and students in September 1961. The hall originally housed the math, geography and art programs. It was home to the first computer on campus, an IBM 1620 purchased by the math department, and to the geography department's weather station that featured wind velocity instruments and rain/snow gauges located on the roof.  

之前 demolition of the building in January 2015, 威尼斯游戏大厅's Department of Visual and Performing Arts turned the building into a living canvas filled with art installations in their exhibition titled, "Catalyst项目."
