Advertiser Staff
Hawai'i Pacific University has received a "generous donation" from philanthropists Paul and Vi Loo to build a performing arts center on HPU's Windward Hawai'i Loa campus.The Paul and Vi Loo Performing Arts Center, to be housed in a new student center, is part of the proposed development of the Windward campus.
As an interim step, until the student center is built, HPU president Chatt G. Wright and the university's board of trustees have renamed the current HPU Theatre the Paul and Vi Loo Theatre to recognize their generosity.
The theatre has been renovated and will open in time for the start of the 2006-2007 theatrical season on Nov. 10 with The Lion in Winter.
Paul C.T. Loo, executive director for Morgan Stanley, is the only surviving founder of the university and current serves on its board of trustees.
