The Fox School receives $15M for new building

The gift from Gisela and Dennis Alter is the largest in The Fox School’s history.
    Temple University’s Fox School of Business and Management today gratefully accepted a lead gift of $15 million from Gisela and Dennis Alter to build Alter Hall, a new building for The Fox School.
    This transformational gift, the largest in the history of The Fox School and the second largest in the history of Temple University, comes at a crucial point for The Fox School, which has outgrown its current home, Speakman Hall. Fox School faculty and students occupy space in nine other University buildings. Alter Hall will be constructed adjacent to Speakman Hall and will include the site where Curtis Hall currently stands.

This Week in Temple History
November 2, 1977
    Temple representatives broke ground for a new 15,000-square-foot building on Ambler Campus, behind Cottage Hall. The building was funded though money willed to the University specifically for a new building on Ambler Campus by George D. Widener. The building opened for fall semester 1978 with 15 classrooms, 12 faculty offices and an audio-visual center.
    Today, Widener Hall is home to audio-visual classrooms and Ambler’s Distance Learning Center.
