Coburn and Smith designed it in 1928 as the university's heating and cooling plant. It is plainer than most buildings on the campus. Its multi-paned hopper-type windows on the second story are topped by stone hood moulds with keystones, and simple brick and stone detailing marks the cornice area. Later additions include auxiliary mechanical buildings, and the hall is now surrounded by mechanical equipment. It currently houses plant maintenance and offices and is described as in good condition.
