Joel M. Pritchard Building, Government building in Washington State Capitol Campus, Olympia, United States.
The Joel M. Pritchard Building features glass and stone elements with clean lines, incorporating Wilkeson sandstone quarried from the local region.
Built between 1957 and 1958, this structure served as the Washington State Library until the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake prompted its transformation into administrative offices.
The building displays numerous art pieces, including murals by Mark Tobey and Kenneth Callahan, along with the Du Pen Fountain situated outside.
Located at 415 15th Avenue SW, the building currently functions as office space for various state administrative departments, including the Code Reviser.
