TOPONYMS:

After its 1960 opening on west campus, Youngberg Hall housed the Center for Research Inc. After the center moved to nearby Nichols Hall, KU Endowment moved into the hall, which it had built and named in honor of former executive secretary Irvin Youngberg. KU Endowment outgrew Youngberg in 1998, and the KU Center for Research and the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies returned. For more, visit www.buildings.ku.edu.
