The facility was named after Ledyard E. Ross, a class of 1951 ECU graduate and notable Greenville orthodontist.
The 188,000 square feet (17,500 m2) building officially opened October 12, 2012, and is home to East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine.
Until its opening, the School of Dental Medicine’s students shared their learning space at the Brody Medical Sciences Building.
[80][81] While Ross Hall primarily serves as an educational institution, it also aims to provide reduced-fee dental care to low-income patients.
The school houses specialty suite for orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, a clinical research area, and arrangements for patients with special needs.
