The Gorecki Alumni Center broke ground on May 6, 2011, celebrated its Grand Opening on Oct. 12, 2012, and was honored with LEED Platinum designation on November 13, 2013 . Since its opening, the Center has hosted thousands of events, fulfilling the wishes of UND’s very first graduating class in 1889 — connecting alumni with each other and the University of North Dakota in a monument dedicated to alumni. The Gorecki Alumni Center now serves as the campus home for more than 120,000 UND alumni.
