Welcome to Uphold, a fundraising campaign in support of the transformative initiative to renew and revitalize the cherished Poettcker Hall residence at CMU, the heartbeat of our campus community.

For nearly seven decades, the beloved Poettcker Hall has housed countless student journeys. Its weathered bricks, creaking pipes, and time-worn corridors hold memories that echo through generations. Now, as we embark on a transformative renovation campaign, we honour its legacy while shaping a brighter future.

Uphold and enhance student success and environmental sustainability at CMU.

This project represents CMU's commitment to preserving the decades-long transformative legacy of the building while creating vibrant, sustainable spaces for students to thrive. Through necessary upgrades and critical improvements, this campaign seeks to breathe new life into Poettcker Hall, ensuring its sustainability and legacy for future generations.
