McKinley Hall, Educational building at American University, Washington, D.C.
McKinley Hall features a copper dome and stands as a central structure on the American University campus, combining traditional architecture with modern design elements.
The building, completed in 1907, served as a chemical weapons research facility during World War I before transitioning to educational purposes in 1955.
McKinley Hall houses the School of Communication, providing specialized facilities for media education and communications studies at American University.
The structure incorporates energy-efficient systems and water-conservation features, resulting in a 26 percent reduction in energy consumption compared to standard buildings.
During renovations, 75 percent of existing structural elements were preserved, and marble from demolished sections was integrated into new construction areas.
