Awards and Honors
The East Engineering building on University at Buffalo (SUNY) north campus was renamed Jarvis Hall after Gregory Jarvis' death. In Spring of 1986 when the university had not yet named the building in his memory four students (Keith Tannenbaum, Jeffy Brenner, Joey Kuperberg and Space Mann) nailed a sign with the name "Jarvis Hall" onto the side of the building as a show of support for the deceased astronaut, and in 1987 the name was made official with a dedication ceremony. Jarvis Hall is devoted largely to Aerospace Engineering and engineering support services.
Mohawk Central High School in Mohawk, NY was renamed, "Gregory B. Jarvis Jr/Sr High School."
Jarvis was portrayed by Richard Jenkins in the 1990 TV movie Challenger.
In 2004, Jarvis was posthumously awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
