Attendees of Malloris’ presentation also were treated to an advance screening of a PBS documentary about the renovation project, “Green Renovation: New Life for a 19th Century Building.” The documentary also discusses the history of the building and campus, but focuses on the renovation project which utilized energy-efficient design, materials and technology to save the aging structure. The one-hour documentary debuted on PBS39 in Fort Wayne on September 30 and will be shown several times again on the local station. It also may air in other markets in the future.
Wayne Landmark
When the university chose to renovate rather than replace the oldest building on campus, the decision piqued curiosity into the landmark’s history. Malloris took on the task of researching and writing about the campus and the building, going as far back as the 1830s. The result is a small book entitled “The Wilfred Uytengsu, Sr. Center on the Campus of Indiana Tech: A History of a Fort Wayne Landmark.” The book was given out to those who attended Malloris’ presentation at Homecoming.
A History of a Fort
The building, which was dedicated as the Wilfred Uytengsu, Sr. Center, was the gathering place for alumni attending Homecoming events. It also was the star of a history presentation by Steve Malloris, associate professor of English.

A centerpiece of the Indiana Tech campus also had a central role in this year’s Homecoming, with plenty of buzz surrounding the newly renovated administration building.
