History:

Voss-Kovach Hall was originally know as the Industrial Education Building, and was renamed in 1982 after Gordon O. Voss (1905-1967) and Frank J. Kovach (1896-?). The building was completed in 1962 for $1.1 million. Voss was an instructor of industrial education starting in 1946. He and Kovach helped persuade the state legislature to fund the Industrial Education Building, and to upgrade UMD's industrial education equipment. In 1929 Kovach was the head of the physical education department and industrial education department. He was also called the "unofficial father of UMD athletics."
