Samford Breaks Ground for Courtyard, Gardens

Samford Breaks Ground for Courtyard, Gardens

Samford University broke ground Feb. 14 for the Hazel P. Boren Courtyard and Gardens to be constructed adjacent to the new Jane Hollock Brock Recital Hall.

The project is a gift to Samford from Russell and Hazel Boren of Birmingham. It honors Hazel Boren, a longtime member of the Samford University Auxiliary and its scholarship committee. Russell Boren also established a music scholarship years ago to honor his wife.

The Borens are natives of Blount County.
