Rawls Hall

Jerry S. Rawls Hall is a building on the Purdue University campus, Krannert School of Management. The building is named after Jerry S. Rawls, a Krannert alumnus, who donated $10 million toward its construction. Rawls is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Finisar Corp. The building is connected to the Krannert building via an above ground walkway.

The 128,000-square-foot (11,900 m2), four story, $37 million state-of-the-art building houses 13 electronically equipped classrooms, a multimedia-based auditorium, 25 breakout rooms, distance learning facilities, sophisticated computer labs and a professional career center. It opened for classes in August 2003 and was formally dedicated in October of that year.
