Centennial Walkway

The Centennial Walkway on the Quad was dedicated in 1991 and has become one of WPI’s valued traditions, along with the Bridge Crossings, the Rope Pull, and the Goat’s Head Rivalry. For $100, you can have a brick with your name or the name of a loved one placed in the walkway, along with the 7,000 alumni, students, faculty, and staff who have also left their mark on WPI in this way. This program is sponsored by the WPI Alumni Association.

Bricks may be ordered during the academic year and are installed at varying points during the year. Please refer to the below chart for order deadlines and installation timeframes.

For more information or assistance, please contact us at alumni-office@wpi.edu or 508-831-5600.
