University of Evansville's (UE) Student Government Association (SGA) officially unveiled the Legacy Courtyard project during a dedication ceremony Thursday.

Located on the 300 block of South Frederick Street, the dedicated student recreation area includes a patio, hammock village, two sand volleyball courts, and an open green space slated for future phases of development.

The multi-year project began in Fall 2022 and has been spearheaded, designed, and fully funded by the SGA with demolition of five university-owned homes commencing in June 2024. In collaboration with various other student organizations, SGA ensured that all plants and trees in the green space are native to Indiana.

"SGA saw the need for more outdoor study and recreation areas on campus, and we were committed to meeting that need," said Benton Simpson, President of SGA. "The Legacy Courtyard reflects the vision and dedication of our students. Designed by students, for students, it stands as a lasting symbol of our contributions to campus."
