The Robbins Center is a beautifully designed 28,900-square-foot building that is home to Fort Hays State University's Foundation and Alumni Association that is situated on the west edge of campus just north of Gross Memorial Coliseum. It is the university's newest building and was opened in September 2007.
Besides being home to the Foundation and Alumni Association offices, the facility features a 200-seat banquet hall (Eagle Communications Hall) with a fully equipped catering kitchen, art gallery, family room, several conference rooms with multi-media capability, a business center with wireless Internet access, and an outdoor garden terrace. It also has a communications room in its lower level where the Tiger Call Phonathon, an annual fundraising drive for scholarships, is conducted.
The Robbins Center provides comfortable space for alumni to gather and relax while visiting Fort Hays State University and is available free of charge for university organizations, students and faculty to hold events. The building's various rooms are available for private functions for a fee (click on the building policy web page for details on reserving the Robbins Center for private events).
Named after lead donors to the building W.R. "Bill" and Yvonne Robbins of Great Bend, the Robbins Center was funded entirely by private donations from more than 1,000 alumni and friends. It is an elegant and multi-functional place that our alumni always enjoy coming "home" to. Stop by and visit us when you can!
