Rollins School of Public Health Emory University

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.

RRR
This LEED Gold Certified 10-floor building opened fall of 2022. Work spaces are conducive to a variety of working styles, with open-floor office spaces, collaborative meeting rooms and private offices occupied by a variety of the school’s service units and academic departments.

The building brought 10 new classrooms to the school — located on the lower level, and floors one, two and three — that range in capacity from 24 to 120, as well as multiple areas for studying, training and congregating. Dancing Goats coffee shop and adjacent lounge has a home on the first floor, next to the bridge, and an expansive reading room and outdoor terrace on the second floor invite opportunities for quiet study and meaningful connection.

Our students are highly engaged, not just in the classroom, but in student organizations, across campus, and in the broader community. At RSPH and Emory, there are a number of organizations and programs dedicated to connecting students with communities, resources, and support services to ensure that they are supported and excel at their full potential.
