Strong Hall, formerly the Public Affairs Classroom Building (PACB), opened in the fall of 1998. This attractive building, which looks back across the Hammons Fountains toward Carrington Hall, features a modern glass curtain wall and open atrium lobby, 21 classrooms, 7 seminar rooms, 7 technology labs, and 161 offices.

The building was named in recognition of the largest single gift commitment in the history of Missouri State and the Missouri State Foundation - $3 million - from the the entire Strong Family - Tom and Wilma and their children: Stephanie Strong Mitchell, John T. Strong, and David K. Strong. Strong Hall is located at 900 S. Holland.
