The hall is now the permanent home of the College of Public Health.
This grand opening marks the culmination of more than two years of construction.
It's all thanks to a record donation by Temple Alum Christopher Barnett.
The healthcare business leader donated $55 million to the College of Public Health.
The gift represents a full-circle moment for Barnett.
When he first applied to Temple several years ago, he was denied admission. But he pleaded his case, promised to graduate with a 4.0 GPA and pledged to give back to the University.
