Newell Hall

Newell Hall is a three-story brick structure at the University of Florida featuring high ceilings, arched windows, and stone trim typical of early 20th-century academic design. The building displays architectural details that reflect the educational values and construction methods of that period.

William Augustus Edwards designed the building in 1910 as part of the university's growth. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 to recognize its architectural and educational significance.

The building carries the name of Wilmon Newell, who shaped agricultural education at the university from 1921 to 1943. His legacy remains visible in how students continue to use this space for learning today.

The building is open around the clock for students and offers study and meeting rooms inside. After major renovation work, visitors will find modernized interior spaces while the original character remains intact.

The outdoor grounds feature hammocks and updated landscaping that give students places to rest and gather between classes. This addition connects the historic structure with how students actually spend their time on campus today.
