The Ludington Center
The Ludington Center, located in the heart of downtown Albion, is named in honor of Jack and Dorothy Ludington, both of whom were 1951 graduates of Albion College.
The Center aims to serve as both a College and Community space, while also acting as the home to the School for Public Purpose and Professional Advancement as well as the Albion College Center and Institutes; The Gerald R. Ford Institute for Leadership in Public Policy and Service , The James L. Curtis Institute for Race and Belonging, The Center for Sustainability and Environment and the Career and Internship Center.
Jack Ludington was a committed supporter of community outreach in Albion and also believed in the notion that a liberal arts education has a connection to Main Street, or in this case Superior Street. This building is dedicated to his vision of collaborative problem-solving.
A special thank you to our generous donors who have helped make the Ludington Center possible. Albion College recognizes the time and talent of Samuel J. Shaheen, ’88, for his commitment in designing and developing the Center.
