The Chemistry/Physics building has been named Hahn Hall -North Wing for T. Marshall Hahn Jr., a well-respected former Virginia Tech president.
Hahn served as the university's president from 1962 to 1974 and is known for fully expanding enrollment to include women, tripling the number of undergraduate students, and eliminating the mandate that freshmen and sophomores enroll in the Corps of Cadets program.
Hahn Hall - North Wing is the second building to be named after the former president, resting adjacent to the current Hahn Hall used for chemistry research. Hahn Hall will now be renamed Hahn Hall - South Wing.
Tech's Board of Visitors approved the resolutions on Thursday, April 23.
