Purdue University Develops Rawls Hall

PurdueUniversity is developing the 130,000-sf Jerry S. Rawls Hall, the centerpiece in the Krannert School of Management’s $55-million “Krannert at the Frontier” campaign. The four-story project will house electronically equipped classrooms, a professional career center, a multimedia-based auditorium, computer labs, distance learning facilities, and a reception area. Supported by the Rawls Hall Infrastructure project, which will provide telecommunications, steam, chilled water, potable water, and high voltage utilities to the facility, the $35-million building will also include web kiosks, wired and wireless Internet connections, videoconferencing facilities, and the audiovisual capabilities of a large presentation forum. Rawls Hall is slated for completion in fall of 2003.
