The Rollins School of Public Health has a 500,000 square foot multi-complex campus consisting of 3 buildings, The Grace Crum Rollins (GCR) Building, the Claudia Nance Rollins (CNR) Building, and the R. Randall Rollins (RRR) Building. This would not have been possible without the generous and unwavering support of the Rollins family. Beginning with Wayne Rollins, a successful local businessman and philanthropist, and continuing with his children and grandchildren through the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation, the family has provided transformative philanthropic support that allowed the school that bears its name to flourish.


GCR
Opened in fall 1995. A 10-story building housing academic departments, classrooms, student breakout and reading rooms, computer labs, furnished kitchen, Starbucks, and Rollins Cafe.

CNR
Opened fall of 2010. A 9-floor building built to the university’s environmental stewardship standards achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification through the U.S. Green Building Council. CNR features wet and dry research labs, The Office of the Dean, and community partner offices for organizations including the CDC, The Carter Center, American Cancer Society, PRISM, Food Fortification Initiative, and CARE.
