BALDWIN CITY — A Wyoming couple has given $1.6 million to Baker University. Baker alumnus Ross Hartley and his wife, Christine Hartley, Jackson Hole, donated the money to the Ivan Boyd Center for Collaborative Science Education on the Baldwin City campus. The 9,000-square-foot addition to Mulvane Hall will be named Ross and Christine Hartley Hall. The existing Mulvane building, greenhouse and Hartley Hall will form the Boyd Center. Hartley worked for the family independent insurance company before co-founding NIC, Inc., a leading provider of electronic government services. Baker is closing in on its $10.3 million goal for the Mulvane Transformation Project. The addition and renovation project will be completed by Aug, 22 before the first day of fall classes.
