The Ayyanar Courtyard Is Coming!

This summer, AISC is also renovating the courtyard outside the FAC where the large Ayyanar horse stands. This renovation gives us the opportunity to create a new space and allows the AISC community to leave their mark!

Parents, alumni, students, faculty and community partners are welcome to customize a message or an image that they would like to have engraved on a stone tile that will be placed in the courtyard.

The walkways and center picnic table areas will be paved with non-engraved stone tiles.

Please note that faculty, alumni, families and communities can create their message or image collaboratively.

We will be accepting submissions and payment through April 15. With verification of stone tiles occurring between then and June 1. The stone tiles will be laid in the ground over the summer.

The excess funds generated from this project will go to create an Annual Fund, which will support student opportunities, facilities improvements and distinguished visitors.

These stone tiles are forever. This is a great opportunity to leave your and your family's mark at AISC!

Sign up to reserve your stone tile today!
