Seaton Hall, Renaissance Revival academic building in Manhattan, Kansas.
Seaton Hall is a Renaissance Revival building on the Kansas State University campus featuring a multi-wing layout with three floors. Neo-Renaissance elements define its appearance and are visible throughout the structure.
Initial construction began in 1908 with the south wing, and the building expanded several times over the following decades. The structure was named after Dr. Roy A. Seaton in 1955 in recognition of his long service to the architecture program.
The building houses the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design, where students learn and develop their creative work. Visitors can sense the academic focus on design through the way spaces are organized and used throughout the structure.
The building is located north of the Student Union and Bosco Plaza, making it easy to find on campus. Inside you will find modern classrooms and spaces designed for architectural studies.
The building was renamed in 1955 to honor someone who had dedicated nearly three decades to shaping the architecture and engineering programs. This recognition shows how the university chose to preserve the legacy of influential academic leaders.
