Drexel’s Paul Peck Alumni Center opens in 2001 after a two-year renovation process and is later rededicated and renamed to honor alumnus Paul Peck ’64. The building was originally opened in 1876 as the Centennial Bank designed by famed Philadelphia architect Frank Furness. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and was purchased by Drexel five years later. Currently, the building is used for office space and a home base welcome to all Drexel alums, as well as a gallery holding Tony Drexel’s personal art collection.
