Back-to-Back $1 Million Gifts Fuel Catawba College's Newman Park Renovations
For nearly a century, Catawba College’s Newman Park has been more than bleachers and a diamond. It has held the echo of summer nights, American Legion rivalries, and decades of Catawba blue and white. Now, with two anonymous $1 million gifts made just weeks apart, the beloved ballpark is preparing for its next chapter—one that honors its history while opening new possibilities for today’s student-athletes.

Catawba College’s Commitment to North Carolina’s First Passive House Residence Hall
Catawba College’s new 130-bed residence hall is on track to be the first Passive House (Phius) certified residence hall in the state of North Carolina, reinforcing its reputation as one of the nation’s most sustainable campuses. Through advanced energy modeling, research-driven design, and strategic interdisciplinary collaboration, the building is projected to achieve a remarkable energy use intensity of 30 kilo British thermal units per square foot (kBtu/sf) per year, cutting energy use in half compared to a typical residence hall. With Issue for Construction (IFC) documents recently finalized, the project has entered construction and is slated to open in summer 2026.
