In the spring of 2011, construction began on Raymond F. LeChase Hall, the new home for the Warner School. The building was named in memory of Raymond F. LeChase, founder of LeChase Construction Services, LLC, who was a pioneer in the Rochester construction community, renowned philanthropist, and dedicated supporter of education. Raymond F. LeChase Hall was the first major building constructed in the historic Wilson Quadrangle on River Campus in 30 years. A four-story, 65000square feet facility, it provides a unified home for the Warner School and will feature an expansive suite of 14 classrooms on the first floor that will serve the College during the day and the Warner School in the evening, providing an efficient solution to the critical need for classroom space on River Campus. Le Chase Hall opened in January 2013 and was dedicated in May 2013.[1]
