Lauder Institute
The Lauder Institute (building) houses the Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management and International Studies, and was originally constructed in 1990 as Lauder-Fischer Hall, with funding from Leonard A. Lauder and Ronald S. Lauder.
It is a post-modern reflection of historic materials of the campus with strip windows to denote its modern date. The concurrent renaming of the building as the Lauder Institute and the dedication of the entire building to the Joseph H. Lauder Institute in 2018 was made possible by an additional gift from Ronald S. Lauder.
