1301 Ohio St. 66044-3436

Alumnus Carl Krehbiel of Moundridge, Kan., donated $4 million to KU Endowment to fund a men’s scholarship hall in honor of his parents, alumni Kathyrn Krehbiel and the late Floyd H. Krehbiel. Carl and Floyd Krehbiel lived in scholarship halls as students. The 18,000-square-foot hall, housing 50 students in three floors, is immediately north of Dennis E. Rieger Scholarship Hall and is a mirror image of its design by Treanor Architects of Lawrence. This incorporates characteristics of the Queen Anne style common in the surrounding Oread neighborhood. Carl Krehbiel also provided a $400,000 maintenance fund for the hall, which was dedicated Sept. 20, 2008.

The Endowment Association, established in 1891, was the first foundation of its kind at a U.S. public university, and it remains one of the largest. It is independent and nonprofit and is the official fund-raising and fund-management organization for KU; it oversees gifts, bequests, endowments, property and other assets for the university. For many years its headquarters were on the main campus, but in 1976 the association moved to Irvin Youngberg Hall on West Campus, a building named for its longtime executive secretary. The association’s staff and services continued to expand, and in April 1998 it moved to this new building, a $5 million, 52,000-square-foot hall designed by Nearing Staats Prelogar Jones of Prairie Village.

2330 Crowell Drive 66047-3714

The 5,000-square-foot building, dedicated Oct. 27, 1990, was designed by Hicks-Messick and Associates of Lawrence. It is named for Fred Kurata, a professor of chemical and petroleum engineering 1947-78 who held two distinguished professorships and was a leader in thermodynamics research. The new building replaced facilities near 15th and Iowa streets that were razed when the Lied Center was built. It houses experimental and analytical labs; safety areas; computer and conference areas; a library; and mechanical areas.
