Lehigh’s bucolic Goodman Campus, with its vast playing fields, is named for trustee emeritus Murray H. Goodman ’48. A Bethlehem native, Goodman donated $2.5 million to the university in 1983 to develop the more than 500 acres of land that Lehigh had acquired through land trades with the city of Bethlehem and Bethlehem Steel.

The campus is home to the 16,000-seat Goodman Stadium, Stabler Athletic and Convocation Center, the Philip Rauch Field House, the Cundey Varsity House, the Lewis Indoor Tennis Center and the Ulrich Sports Complex and other athletic fields.

Goodman, founder and chairman of The Goodman Company, a real estate development firm, established an endowment to support improvements to the campus and funded development of the Goodman Center for Real Estate Studies in the College of Business and Economics. Once captain of the varsity basketball team, he is also in Lehigh’s Hall of Fame.
