Science center named for ex-U.Va. official
The renovated Science Center at the University of Virginia's College at Wise has a new name.
The newly christened Leonard W. Sandridge Science Center is named after the University of Virginia's former chief operating officer and a longtime supporter of the college.
Sandridge's name was recommended to the U.Va.-Wise board by Chancellor David Prior, and the new name was approved Dec. 9, according to a written statement from the college.
Prior said Sandridge was a "valued adviser" to him and someone who has offered "invaluable" guidance and support to the college.
Sandridge retired from U.Va. in July but remains a special adviser to the university's president, Teresa Sullivan.
