Engineering Hall
Dedicated on November 15, 1894, Engineering Hall was designed by George Bullard, a student
of Nathan Ricker. The
63,800 square foot building cost
$162,278.40 to construct and featured
an interior richly appointed with oak and a ceiling paneled in
Washington fir. It was the first University building
constructed solely for the use of a single
college.
In Fall 1998, work began on an $8M
renovation, designed to
restore the building to its original stature. On June 12, 1998, the
relocation of staff and furnishings from the building were complete
and on August 1, 1998, work formally
began and the renovation was completed in 2000.
The class of 1894 inscribed their class numerals in a stone
tablet by the Green
Street entrance as a class
memorial. It was the 6th class gift given to the
University.
