History<\/h3>\n

The building was originally known as the New Administration Building and was designed to house several administrative offices as newer space was needed to replace the outdated offices in the Administration Building (now Alfred B. Rollins, Jr. Hall<\/a>)<\/strong>. Completed in 1972, the architecture of the building gave it a unique character, with two lower-level wings separated by an open-air walkway and a staircase to the upper-level offices. In 1999, the building was renamed to honor the sixth president of ODU, James V. Koch<\/strong><\/a>, and his wife Donna for their contributions to the ODU and Hampton Roads communities.<\/p>\n
