CASSEL OPEN AIR THEATRE - is one of the most beautiful sites on campus. It's where Doane holds it's annual commencement as well as other events during the year. Many graduates have come back to Doane to get married in the beautiful tree lined outdoor amphitheater. It is in the heart of the campus and overlooks the Sally Smith Memorial Fountain and Doane Lake.
ENGRAVED LEGACY BRICKS AND PAVERS are a great way to commemorate someone or something special and to leave a lasting tribute on campus. They line the outer sidewalk perimeter of Cassel and are a lasting tribute that can be enjoyed for years to come. Bricks can be ordered at any time but are installed only once a year in time for Commencement in the spring.
- BRICKS - $150 - 4-x-8 bricks personalized and engraved in up to three rows of 16 characters per line.
- PAVERS - $500 - 1 ft x 1 ft pavers personalized and engraved with up to five rows of 16 characters per line. A graphic can be added.
Children and grandchildren can hunt for their parent's or grandparents' brick and families can see their name immortalized on a paver. The engraved bricks and pavers truly leave a mark on campus, just as Doane has left its mark on us.
TIMEFRAME
New engraved legacy bricks and pavers are installed every spring. To have one installed for Spring Commencement - Registration and payment need to reach us by March 31st to ensure enough time for the production, engraving, shipping, and installation.

CAMPUS PROJECTS
Updates, renovations, additions and new buildings are always a part of the future plans for Doane. Some are still just wishes and thoughts, some are being planned or organized. With this kind of campaign, institutions need at least half of the cost of construction in hand before it can be announced. Do you have the means and want to see something happen on campus? Contact our Advancement team at Doane.
