Alumnus provides landscaping funds

A $100,000 gift from a former Kansas University Alumni Association chair and his wife has paid for a landscaping facelift and new outdoor plaza at the K.S. “Boots” Adams Alumni Center at KU.

Alumnus Larry J. Borden and his wife, Nancy Borden, of Colorado Springs, Colo., donated the funds. The association removed the old wrought-iron fence and brick pillars and added new landscaping, including crabapple trees, white birches and boxwood hedges.

The area was named Borden Family Plaza.
