Bryan Hall

Bryan Hall is an academic building with a distinctive clock tower located on the Washington State University campus in Pullman, Washington. The structure features red brick walls and broad eaves with decorative brackets that define its classical appearance.

The building was constructed in 1909 as a library and assembly hall, named after Dr. E. A. Bryan who served as the university's president from 1893 to 1916. Its design represents an important phase in the early growth of the campus during his leadership.

The theatre inside serves as a main performance space where the music school holds concerts and events throughout the year. Visitors can hear the large pipe organ during recitals and experience how the building functions as a cultural gathering place.

The building contains multiple classrooms serving different departments, including a specially designed space for collaborative learning with flexible furniture and layout. Visitors can explore the interior during regular university hours and will find it easy to navigate through the main corridors and rooms.

The clock tower has glowed with crimson neon lights since 1946, creating a nighttime landmark visible across the campus. The building also operates a digital carillon system that broadcasts hourly bell chimes throughout the university grounds.
