The practical, financial future of Bentley was also very important to President Adamian, who had seen firsthand the educational caliber of the school and wanted to ensure its continued success.

He worked tirelessly to increase Bentley's endowment and raise funds for the new programs and facilities that would make Bentley even greater. During a particularly successful period in the 1980s, the Bentley campus saw significant expansion. Athletic facilities were improved and new dorms like Collins Hall, then known as Brook Hall, were built.

Administrative and educational facilities also grew with the addition of the Rauch Administration Center and the Graduate Center. On the occassion of President Adamian's retirement in 1991, the Graduate Center was renamed the Adamian Academic Center in his honor.

The Bentley President's House was also built in the early 1980s. In the photo at left President Adamian and his wife Deborah, the house's first occupants, celebrate its completion.
