WAKE FOREST, N.C. — Trustees at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in their meeting Oct. 10 broke ground for a $6 million building named for former seminary president Paige Patterson.
Seminary President Danny Akin said construction of Paige and Dorothy Patterson Hall will be done by 2008. Patterson, who was seminary president from 1992 to 2003, was a significant force in developing the Wake Forest, N.C., seminary and the Southern Baptist Convention, Akin said. The $6.2 million building is the largest building project in the school’s history, according to seminary officials. It will house classrooms, faculty offices and the L. Russ Bush Center for Faith and Culture. The center will help churches respond to cultural issues through conferences, lectures and a Web site.
