Heidelberg University Celebrates Completion of Pancoast Patio

Congratulations to Heidelberg University on the ribbon cutting ceremony during their Alumni Weekend to celebrate the addition of Pancoast Patio, outside of Brenneman Music Hall.

Pancoast Patio, a piano-shaped outdoor space off the front of Brenneman has improved the look, feel and possibilities of the music hall. The project, several years in the making, has been spearheaded by alumnus and Berg Bravo! President Ed Ayers, ’71. The Friends of Heidelberg Music organization also raised the entirety of the funds for the construction of the patio.

The patio is a tribute to the legacy of late alumni Reginald and Enid Pancoast, who provided a generous gift to renovate the appropriately named Pancoast Recital Hall inside Brenneman.

The new patio provides students a place to rest and relax between classes. Music faculty can also use it as a performance for small groups.
