The Road to 100
A Bold Vision for the Future
The Road to 100 is Brooklyn College’s bold journey toward its centennial, celebrating transformative investments, academic excellence, and community impact. Through renewed spaces, visionary leadership, and ambitious goals, we are building a stronger future for generations of students and alumni.
The Road to 100 will bring the Brooklyn College community together to shape a vision for our second century, with student success at its heart. As we approach our centennial, we will strengthen the resources our students need to thrive and reimagine our library as the intellectual heart of the college for generations to come.

Our Goal: $100,000,000
By investing in students, renewing campus spaces, strengthening academic excellence, and expanding philanthropic support, Brooklyn College will unlock greater opportunities for student success and social mobility. The Road to 100 advances this vision by bringing together alumni, donors, faculty, staff, and community partners to build a stronger, more innovative, and more inclusive future for the college’s second century.
The Road to 100 calls on the Brooklyn College community to invest in the future of this institution and its students. Our board is committed to engaging alumni, growing philanthropic support, and securing the resources Brooklyn College needs for its second century.

Innovation, Excellence, Opportunity
The Road to 100 is anchored by transformative investments in Brooklyn College’s academic and physical infrastructure, including the creation of the Library of the Future as the intellectual hub of campus. These signature initiatives are complemented by significant progress on the renovation of Ingersoll Hall and Roosevelt Hall, modernizing key learning environments and strengthening the student experience.
The Road to 100 Planning Committee will bring together voices from across the Brooklyn College community to celebrate our history and help shape our future. Our goal is to create a Road to 100 that reflects the ideas, experiences, and aspirations of the entire college community.
