Ross Hall

Building Code: RH

Building Number: 047

Creation of Silas E. Ross Hall came about due to the University’s and state’s need to meet demand for a College of Business. The Board of Regents’ decision in 1955 to create a separate College of Business led to an appropriation of financing from the Nevada State Legislature for a new building in which to house the fledgling college. The building was named for Silas E. Ross, who had served as a regent for a quarter century, and was a University graduate and former athletics coach.

The building is now home to the following programs:

• Accounts Payable/Accounting Services
• Business Center North Payroll Office
• Business and Finance Office
• Controller’s Office
• Office of Enterprise & Innovation
• Office of Sponsored Projects
• Office of Undergraduate Research
• Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation
• Purchasing Card and Travel Office
• Research Integrity Office
