Founders Hall
Founders Hall at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is one of the institution’s most historic and recognizable buildings, reflecting the university’s origins and long-standing commitment to academic excellence and student success. Originally developed during SIUE’s formative years, Founders Hall has served generations of students through classrooms, faculty offices, student support services, and collaborative learning spaces. The building symbolizes the pioneering spirit and growth of the university from its founding to today’s thriving campus community. A leadership gift of $2.5 million provides the opportunity to permanently name Founders Hall, creating a lasting legacy tied to one of SIUE’s most prominent and historically significant campus facilities.
