Morrill Hall, Academic building at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, US
Morrill Hall is an academic building on the Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater. It features stone and brick walls with large columns framing the main entrance and facade.
Morrill Hall was completed in 1906 to house the agricultural college, administrative offices and the experiment station. It was named for Justin Morrill, whose 1862 Land-Grant Act created the college system; President Angelo C. Scott used the name in 1905 lobbying that led Theodore Roosevelt to sign the Scott-Fields bill. On 7 August 1914 a fire gutted the building, collapsing the floors and leaving only the exterior walls; it was reconstructed by September 1915.
The English Department holds classes here and operates writing support services for students. You will see learners moving between classrooms and gathering in study areas throughout the day.
The building is open during regular weekday hours when classes are in session. Be respectful since active teaching and learning takes place here and students use it for their studies.
Federal funding for this building was secured through support from Theodore Roosevelt's administration. This represented an early partnership between government and the university for educational infrastructure.
