Loca Lee Buckner Theatre
1970
In 1970, another section of the Ludd M. Spivey Fine Arts Center was completed - the Loca Lee Buckner Theatre. The building was posthumously funded by Loca Lee Buckner, a Trustee and Honorary Chancellor, who had passed in October 1965 while on vacation in Italy. In passing, she had left to the College a total of around seven million dollars, which was delegated to several projects, including this theatre and the renaming of the Thaddeus G. Buckner Building. The Loca Lee Buckner Theatre still stands and is frequently used for theatrical productions.
