Austin Hall is a building located at 2751 Southwest Jefferson Avenue on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis, Oregon, United States.[1] The building, home to the Oregon State University College of Business, is named after and primarily funded by Ken and Joan Austin. Mr. Austin, an alumnus of the College Business, founded A-dec, a dental office furniture and equipment manufacturer based in Newberg, Oregon, United States, with his wife Joan in 1964. The building was designed by THA Architecture, and built by Andersen Construction (the later founded by Oregon State alumnus David Anderson).
Opened in September 2014, Austin Hall comprises 100,000 square feet over four floors.[2]
The US$55 million building was funded with a mix of private philanthropy ($30 million+) and states bonds ($20 million+). Notable donors include Ken and Joan Austin ($10 million) as well as Al and Pat Reser ($6 million). Al Reser is a College of Business alumni and founder of Reser's Fine Foods.
