Broun Hall

About:
Broun Hall is home to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. The facility was named after the university's fourth president, William Leroy Broun. In 2018, the Davidson Pavilion was added as part of the renovation to Broun Hall. The renovation was made possible thanks to a $5 million gift from Dorothy Davidson in honor of her late husband Julian, a 1950 electrical engineering graduate and defense industry pioneer. The addition of the Davidson Pavilion has transformed the area most used by students and includes a new main entrance that allows natural light into the first two floors, renovated classrooms and labs, all equipped with the latest instructional technologies.
