Construction of Crosby Hall was completed on the South Campus in 1931 and was the first permanent home of the School of Business Administration. The building is named for William H. Crosby (d. 1944), treasurer of the University. Construction of the Jacobs Management Center was completed on the North Campus in 1985. The building honors Louis Jacobs and his wife, Genevieve Bibby Jacobs.
