UNE breaks ground for Peter and Cécile Morgane Hall, its new academic facility

The University of New England celebrated the groundbreaking for its new Peter and Cécile Morgane Hall at a ceremony held on May 9, 2008 on the University‚Äôs campus in Biddeford.

Peter and Cécile Morgane Hall will be the first all-academic facility to be built at the University since the Harold Alfond Center for the Health Sciences.  Morgane Hall will include undergraduate classrooms and teaching laboratory space for expanded sections of biology and chemistry.

Construction began in Spring 2008 with occupancy planned for spring semester 2009.

Peter Morgane

Peter Morgane, Ph.D.,  is a researcher and professor of pharmacology in UNE‚Äôs College of Osteopathic Medicine, and has provided the University with tremendous support during the past few years in memory of his late wife Cécile. 

His gifts are being used to help fund the Pickus Center for Biomedical Research as well as the new Morgane Hall. Peter has been overwhelmingly generous, and as one of the University's own, his gifts mean a great deal to UNE's students. The dedication of Peter and Cécile Morgane Hall will ensure the legacy of his commitment to teaching and scientific research at the University.
