Louise Freer Hall, University gymnasium in Urbana, United States.

Louise Freer Hall features Georgian Revival architecture with symmetrical design elements, classical details, and a prominent semicircular entrance ramp at 906 South Goodwin Avenue.

The building, completed in 1930 during the Great Depression, represented the last project of architect Charles A. Platt for the University of Illinois campus master plan.

The structure transformed from a Women's Gymnasium to house the Department of Kinesiology, reflecting changes in academic programs and physical education requirements over time.

The Department of Kinesiology occupies the building, which underwent renovations in 2017 to improve accessibility and modernize facilities while maintaining historical elements.

The gymnasium includes specialized athletic facilities, a physical education laboratory, and served as the home venue for Illinois Fighting Illini women's swimming team.
