STUDENT LINK BUILDING, 1972 RANKIN HALL, 1992 ARCHITECT: Ewing Miller Associates, Inc. CONSTRUCTION: Repp and Mundt, Inc. COST: $2,276,000 DEDICATION: 1972 REMODELED: 1992 REDEDICATION: January, 1993 HISTORY Plans called for construction of an underground grille and lounge and a three story office structure to "link" the Tirey Memorial Student Union with the south annex - the old Elks building. The office space was constructed to house union staff, activities and student organization offices. The structure was designed as a "gateway" to the campus quadrangle. Formerly known as the Link building of the Tirey Memorial Union complex, the structure was completed for the use by the Student Services division in 1972. In 1992 it was renamed in honor of Alan Carson Rankin, seventh president of the institution (1965-1975).
