Completed in 1927 and designed by C. D. Hill & Co., it occupies the northeast corner of the university's main quadrangle. The building is a rectangular block under a gabled slate roof. Its elaborate entrance is marked by a projecting portico with columns and a balustrade. Quoins, a second-story string course and a dentilled cornice add to the classical character, while arched and flat multi-paned windows are trimmed with voussoirs and keystones. It was listed as part of a thematic group of Georgian Revival buildings at the university because it is considered a good southwestern example of the style within a planned academic setting. Its significance lies in both architecture and education. The structure remains on its original site, is in good condition, and is still used for classrooms and laboratories, though the interior has been remodeled.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"C.
