March 12, Monday -- Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef and guests will dedicate UC Davis' latest classroom building, Warren and Leta Giedt Hall. With two classrooms and three lecture theaters, including the 278-seat Ted and Rand Schaal Auditorium, Giedt Hall provides a state-of-the-art learning environment for students from across the campus. The 15,000 square-foot, $7.5 million building was made possible by a donation of $2.5 million from Warren Giedt, professor emeritus in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, and his late wife, Leta Giedt, and a second gift of $400,000 from alumnus and former geology lecturer Rand Schaal and his father, Ted Schaal. The dedication ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. in Giedt Hall, which is located immediately north of Kemper Hall of Engineering on Bioletti Way. Joining Vanderhoef to dedicate the building will be Enrique Lavernia, dean of the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ of Engineering; Winston Ko, dean of the Division of Mathematical and Physical Sciences; and Professor Giedt.
