College Hall, University building at University of Pennsylvania, United States
College Hall is a six-story building on the University of Pennsylvania campus constructed from distinctive green serpentinite stone. The structure displays architectural features that reflect the original design character of this early American academic institution.
College Hall was built as one of the founding structures of the University of Pennsylvania and remains among the oldest buildings on campus. Since its construction, it has served as the center for the institution's administrative and academic operations.
College Hall serves as the administrative heart of the university, housing offices and meeting spaces where students and staff gather daily. The building functions as a central hub for the academic community's organizational activities.
The building is accessible through an elevator system that allows visitors to explore multiple floors of the administrative complex. Keep in mind that this is an active campus, so visiting hours and access policies should be confirmed beforehand.
The green serpentinite stone used to build College Hall displays natural color and texture patterns that set it apart from typical red or brown brick structures. This unusual choice of building material remains one of the building's most distinctive visual features.
