At the end of the center hall and just past the elevator is the Alpha Delta Kappa Heritage Room. In 1971, the mail room was remodeled to provide a museum which would preserve and display the archives and other materials significant to the history of Alpha Delta Kappa. Dark wood paneling and vanilla carpeting offer a neutral background for the archives and artifacts. The room was designed with concealed storage and display shelves for archives books and built-in display cases.
Center Hall The curio cabinet in the center hall was purchased with contributions received following Marie Neal's death. Many items on display in this cabinet were gifts given her through the years.
Art work throughout the first floor work areas and hallway include framed posters and prints by internationally acclaimed French artist Michel Delacroix, the official artist of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta and the 1995 Special Olympic World Games. Before establishing his art career, he taught art in Parisenne public elementary schools, supporting a family of five. Referred to as a master of the 'naif' or naive style of painting, he uses his childhood memories as the subjects of his distinctive style. Inspired by his love for children and a serious childhood illness, he established the Michael Delacroix Foundation a non-profit organization founded to bring happiness through art to children throughout the world who are confined by temporary or permanent illnesses. |
