Owens Hall is a 32,200-square-foot building that stays true to Winthrop’s devotion to close interaction between students and faculty. Each of the 21 classrooms inside is equipped with SMART technology, and the facility also includes a computer lab, two conference rooms, and a student lounge that round out the $6.5 million facility. The building is named for Winthrop alumna, volunteer, and supporter Glenda Owens and her husband, Jerry. The building suffered severe damage from a March 6, 2010, fire and reopened in spring 2011.
