Tennessee Tech Varsity Building (aka the Crawford Alumni Center) - Cookeville, Tennessee

Located at 705 North Dixie Avenue in Cookeville, this building was originally built in 1969 and was formerly known by the following names: Varsity Cinema Theatre, Varsity Twin, and Alumni Building. The Varsity Cinema Theatre held its grand opening ceremony on September 11, 1969 and was not an official university building at the time if its conception. The movie theatre operated from 1969 until 2001. In 2014 Tennessee Tech acquired the former Varsity Cinema Theatre where it operated as the Alumni Building. On the 50th anniversary of the Varsity Theatre's grand opening, Tennessee Tech renamed it the Varsity Building. In 2017, the building was renamed the Leonard and Gladys Crawford Alumni Center in honor of two individuals who had such great impact on the Tech campus.

For nearly 3 decades, alumni and administrators Leonard & Gladys Crawford were among the most beloved figures on the Tech campus. Leonard, a member of Tech’s class of 1929 – the first baccalaureate class – is noted for his efforts in growing the Alumni Association. He also directed Tech's alumni and job placement offices, student recruiting and campus workshops. Gladys, a 1935 graduate, ran Tech's cafeteria for many years as head dietitian.

The Crawford Alumni Center is housed in the Tennessee Tech Varsity Building on the corner of 7th St. and Dixie Ave. The Center manages alumni engagement, annual giving and stewardship efforts for the university and is the main point of contact for the Tennessee Tech Alumni Association.

Though nearly half a century has passed since the Crawford's service to Tech, alumni still remember them with fondness. Leonard and Gladys Crawford were leaders in both school spirit and campus life – and that's a role the Crawford Alumni Center strives to fulfill today with the experiences they offer to alumni and friends of Tech.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
