Matthews Plaza is an extension of the Jaguar Park project sponsored by the SU System Foundation. Jaguar Park is a three-phase construction project launched to support the construction of a $1.2 million urban sport complex located on the University’s Baton Rouge campus.

Irving and Darlene Matthews’ sizeable investment has helped the Jaguar Park project raise more than $500,000 over the last 12 months. The Matthews also have established the Irving and Darlene Matthews Endowed Scholarships in the College of Business and the College of Engineering. Irving and Darlene Matthews Plaza is scheduled to be complete by Spring 2017.
