Description

History
The building was funded through a major donation in 1939 and opened its doors in December 1942 to students and faculty. It emerged during a period of growing investment in technical education and research.
Culture
Stone sculptures by Edgar Miller adorn the building entrance, depicting scientific and engineering themes across the limestone facade where visitors enter and leave.
