Crawford Hall

Kent State University celebrated the grand opening of Crawford Hall on Sept. 27, attended by more than 700 guests, including university leadership, faculty, students, donors, alumni and dignitaries.

A commemorative beam signing event was held in April for Crawford Hall, the new home for the Ambassador Crawford College of Business and Entrepreneurship. The beam was signed by university leadership, the college’s National Advisory Board and building project donors.

A beam signing ceremony allowed donors, Kent State University leaders and the Ambassador Crawford College of Business and Entrepreneurship’s National Advisory Board to sign what will be the final beam placed in Crawford Hall. During a commemorative event on April 20, special guests had the opportunity to sign the beam, which is expected to be placed in June during a topping out ceremony.

Kent State broke ground on Crawford Hall, future home of the Ambassador Crawford College of Business and Entrepreneurship, on March 8. The ceremony was attended by more than 400 people, including university officials, donors, alumni, students, elected officials and special guests.

Kent State’s Ambassador Crawford College of Business and Entrepreneurship offers one of the nation's most outstanding online MBA programs, according to The Princeton Review®.

Designated spaces in the new Crawford Hall building to be constructed on the Kent State campus to house the Ambassador Crawford College of Business and Entrepreneurship have been approved by the Board of Trustees.

The largest single philanthropic gift in Kent State University history will complete the capital campaign to enable the construction of a new building for the college on the university’s Kent Campus.
