Jarvis Hall

Part of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Jarvis Hall houses several technical support services, including the Engineering Machine Shop and Engineering Design Services. Jarvis Hall is also home to the Great Lakes Program, a major research organization.

Namesake

Astronaut Gregory Jarvis (1944-1986), a graduate of UB's electrical engineering program, lost his life with six others on the space shuttle Challenger. Only one year earlier Jarvis had given an inspirational commencement address at UB's 1985 graduation ceremony. After his death, students nailed a sign reading "Jarvis Hall" to the Engineering East building. The name was made official in a 1987 dedication ceremony.
