P.C. leaders name building for Keegan

Dr. Thomas Keegan may not be leaving much behind when he takes his new job at Skagit Valley College later this year but his name will be linked to the school he led for more than a decade.

By unanimous vote, the Peninsula College board of trustees agreed last week to rename the Science and Technology building Keegan Hall.

The announcement was made during the Jan. 10 board of trustees meeting.

Keegan led the college through enrollment growth, a transformation of the teaching and learning environment and a $120 million capital construction campaign, which restored or replaced 75 percent of campus facilities — including the construction of the first longhouse on a community college campus in the nation.
