Harrison Hall

Harrison Hall is a symmetrical building with Georgian architectural features located on the Miami University campus in Oxford. The structure contains lecture halls, offices, and research spaces distributed across its interior for academic departments.

The current structure was completed in 1960, replacing the original Franklin Hall built in 1818 that first served the university's teaching needs. This replacement marked the university's expansion and renewal of its academic facilities.

The building houses the Department of Political Science, where students and faculty conduct daily research and teaching activities. This space reflects how classical architecture integrates with contemporary academic life on campus.

The building is accessible to visitors during academic hours and is centrally located on campus for easy navigation. You can explore public areas and corridors when classes are not in session.

The building is named after Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd President of the United States, who was a student at Miami University. This connection to a U.S. President gives the structure special significance in the university's story.
