Commemorative Bricks, Trees and Benches:
Elmhurst University is no longer accepting requests for new commemorative pavers or dedicated trees and benches. Existing commemorative bricks have been preserved and relocated from Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel to their permanent location in front of the Gates of Knowledge. Existing plaques commemorating dedicated trees and benches will not be affected.
If an existing dedicated tree or bench needs to be moved or updated due to weather damage, construction or other circumstances, the Office of Institutional Advancement will make every effort to notify the donor. For questions about an existing commemorative brick, tree or bench, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at (630) 617-6137 or [email protected].
