You don't pay anything until it's live in October. When it is, $60/year gets you full access — anytime, from anywhere.
We'll be in touch when Trinity goes live on October 4th. Thank you for keeping this place alive.
Tell us what spots mattered most to you. Your input shapes what we capture before the doors close.
We've received your memories. We'll make sure those spots are captured before the doors close.
Walk through Chapel. Return to the Commons. An immersive, walkable digital experience you can return to anytime.
A preview of what's being preserved. The campus experience begins October 4, 2026.
Trinity is more than transcripts and diplomas.
Trinity is you, and your years in Palos Heights. Trinity is the Chapel. The Dorms. The Commons. The places on campus where your story happened.
But when access to campus ends, your connection shouldn't.
Trinity Christian College officially authorized Perduras to preserve campus as a walkable virtual experience. Before the doors close, we are capturing the entire campus in 360° aerial and ground photography — buildings, halls, quads, and outdoor spaces.
Then we'll turn it into an immersive, walkable experience you can explore online from your phone or computer. Here's the timeline:
Preserving Trinity as a virtual experience involves two things.
First, creating it. That means building a dedicated platform and producing the virtual experience itself. This takes expertise, specialized equipment, months of work, and significant funding. We're covering all of that as part of a founding preservation initiative.
Second, keeping it alive. That means hosting, maintenance, updates, and other ongoing costs every year. That's where subscriptions come in.
Join the waitlist to be among the first to walk through Trinity again. Pay only when it launches October 4th. Subscriptions keep things running and updated.
What spots on campus mattered most to you? What should we make sure to capture?
We'll let you know when the virtual experience is live.
We're Ashley and Shalom, founders of Egents — a virtual experience company based in Northwest Iowa.
Ashley studied abroad through Trinity's Semester In Spain program. Ashley's dad's college no longer exists. Shalom can't visit part of his parents' history because the neighborhood was gone before he could see it.
We know the loss of places that matter.
So we're preserving Trinity.
Ashley studied abroad through Trinity's Semester In Spain program. Her dad's college is gone. Shalom can't walk part of his parents' history — it was redeveloped. When Trinity announced its closure, we felt the loss you felt. So we reached out, and the partnership was born.
You'll be able to walk through Trinity's campus the way you remember it — not watch a video of it. Move through the Chapel. Step into residence halls. Cross the quad. It's navigable, explorable, and accessible from your phone or computer.
Perduras launches October 4, 2026 — Trinity's traditional homecoming weekend. A date chosen to honor the tradition of coming back.
You pay nothing today. Joining the waitlist simply reserves your founding subscriber rate of $60/year — $15 less than the standard rate after launch. We'll email you the moment it's live.
The waitlist is just that — a list. You'll hear from us when it launches. If it's not for you at that point, you don't subscribe. No pressure, no automatic charges.
Photos show you a moment. Videos show you a path someone else chose. Perduras lets you decide where to go. You navigate the space yourself — which room to enter, which hallway to follow. It's the difference between watching someone else visit and visiting yourself.
A Perduras subscription makes a meaningful gift for a fellow Trinity alum, a former faculty member, or anyone whose life was shaped by the college. Gifting will be available in the future. If you want to be notified specifically about gifting options, mention it in the notes field when you join the waitlist.
The October 4, 2026 release will be the first of four annual releases. Each release adds more of campus until Trinity is fully preserved. As a subscriber, every new release is yours automatically.
Four releases because creating a true immersive virtual experience is not quick. It takes months of work, specialized equipment, careful processing, post-production, and quality review before it's ready for you to walk through.
We built Perduras because we believe institutions like Trinity deserve to last beyond their physical walls. Subscriptions are what keep it running — hosting, maintenance, and annual updates are real ongoing costs. As long as there are subscribers, Trinity stays online. If that ever changed, we would give subscribers meaningful advance notice and explore every option to keep it accessible.
