The Lally School of Management is the business school of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), located in Troy, New York. Founded in 1963[5] the school offers a range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs that emphasize entrepreneurship, finance, and operations management, among other disciplines.
History
[edit]The Lally school, founded in 1963, is relatively new to RPI, which was founded in 1824. The Lally school was originally solely a management program for engineers. It was originally housed in the Jonsson Engineering Center and Lally Management Center, before finally being moved to the larger Pittsburgh Building. The management school was named after Rensselaer trustee Kenneth T. Lally and his wife, Thelma P. Lally. Kenneth T. Lally has been an important member of the Rensselaer community since 1970. The Lallys wanted the school to be known throughout the world as the "best of the breed". Lally, an entrepreneur who saved the historic W.& L.E Gurley Company (now Gurley Precision Instruments), knew the challenge of managing a technological venture. To help the management school gain national prominence, the Lallys gave $15 million, which was, up until 2001, the largest single gift in Rensselaer's history. To honor the benefactors and to more properly reflect the school's unique focus, the school became the Kenneth T. and Thelma P. Lally School of Management and Technology.[6]
The Pittsburgh Building was completed in 1912 and originally contained the administrative offices of the institute, the library, and the Geological and Mineralogical Museum. "It was presented by the members of the Pittsburgh Alumni Association, and has cost furnished about $150,000."[7]
