University opens, dedicates new engineering building
The University of Kansas opened Eaton Hall Friday morning, completing a primary goal of the KU First fundraising project.
The $15 million facility will house all academic aspects of the engineering program. The consolidation was important because engineering classes had been scattered around campus.
The building's 80,000 square feet feature computing commons, modern labs and classrooms and a multimedia 230seat classroom.
John Scarffe, director of communications for KU Endowment, said the state-of-the-art facility was important for the department.
"It's a great moment for the University and the school of engineering," Scarffe said. "This building will help them to recruit and retain faculty and students."
The building was funded entirely by private contributions. In addition to the gift from the building's namesake, Robert J.Eaton, who contributed $5 million, Charles and Mary Jane Spahr, Madison and Lila Self and Adrienne Zimmerman Adam each committed at least $1 million to the project.
"We really appreciate all the donors who stepped up and made this possible," Scarfe said.
