"Luther College's Athletics and Wellness Center Gets $10 Million Boost from Gerdin Family"
Luther College has received a historic $10 million gift from Michael and Nicole Gerdin and the Gerdin Charitable Foundation, the largest individual gift in the college's history. The donation will be used to expand and renovate the Regents Center, which houses Norse athletics and serves as the center for sports and recreation at Luther College. The facility will be renamed the Gerdin Fieldhouse for Athletics and Wellness in recognition of the commitment. The renovation plans include a new entrance space, team meeting space, renovated locker rooms, and a common area and study space for the 21 Norse athletic teams. This gift follows another significant donation of $2 million from Dennis and Suzanne Birkestrand to renovate and rename the court inside the Regents Center.
