    During the Campaign Celebration dinner
the college unveiled plans to name the new music center the Whitlock Music Center in honor of the Whitlock family. The family donated the $250,000 needed to complete the third floor of the music center. Over Homecoming Weekend, October 20-22, the college plans to dedicate the Whitlock Music Center and the James E. Wilson Recital Hall.
   Work began to complete the third floor of the music center May 15, with plans to complete the construction by the fall semester.

    The Greenville College Music Department moved from LaDue Music Center across College Ave. into the old Free Methodist Church building, the college’s new Music Center, in the fall of 2005 with the help of the GC football team.
    Sophomore David Row expressed his appreciation for the new facilities “As a student who nearly lives in the practice rooms, I couldn’t be happier with the new Music Center. We have tripled the number of rooms and the quality is infinitely better. It’s nice to have classes, practice rooms, performance halls, and professors all in the same building. It makes for more centralized and efficient learning. For the faculty, the college, and especially the students, the Music Center is an answered prayer,” said Row.
