Just thought the headline for this story for the law school groundbreaking was unnecessary, it reminded me of something...

"Eckstein Hall groundbreaking draws record crowd

More than 800 people joined Marquette President Robert A. Wild, S.J., and Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney today to break ground on Eckstein Hall, the future home of Marquette University Law School. Ray Eckstein, who together with his wife, Kay, donated $51 million to the project, and Joseph Zilber, a $30 million donor to the Law School, were also present for the celebration.

Chief Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Chief Judge Frank H. Easterbrook of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and Natalie A. Black, an alumna of the Law School who is a Marquette trustee and senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary of Kohler Co., also gave remarks. Rev. James Flaherty, S.J., rector of the Jesuit Community, provided a blessing for the construction site, and University Architect Tom Ganey commenced the digging.

The 200,000-square-foot building is expected to open in fall 2010. It will include two courtrooms, classrooms, faculty office suites, library space with a two-story reading room, a conference center and a café. Below the building will be a two-level, 170-space parking garage."
