Crawford Hall

Crawford Hall is an educational building featuring angular lines and dynamic forms that span multiple levels, creating open interior spaces. It contains lecture halls, meeting rooms, and various functional areas accessible through its main entrance.

Designed by architect William Pereira in 1965, the building was completed during a period of rapid expansion in American university infrastructure. It reflects the era's optimism about modern educational spaces.

The building embodies the principles of futurist architecture through its emphasis on motion, speed, and forward-looking structural elements.

Access is through the main entrance on the front of the campus building, where key functional areas are easy to reach. Inside, the various spaces are clearly organized and navigation is straightforward.

The architecture uses strategically positioned windows to allow daylight to penetrate deep into interior spaces, maximizing natural brightness. This design approach was unusual for educational buildings when the structure was completed.
