Hide Profile

In 1925, as part of the work of the University Plan Commission, the architectural firm of York and Sawyer proposed a new group of engineering buildings to replace East Sibley, Lincoln, and Franklin Halls. In 1937, Shreve, Lamb and Harmon again designed a cluster of new Engineering buildings for that site. In 1941, however, the university administration and trustees decided to relocate the Engineering College to its current location south of Barnes Hall and Sage College. Olin Hall incorporated some of the elements of the Shreve, Lambe and Harmon design, as did Kimball and Thurston Halls. The rest of the new Engineering Quad was designed by Perkins and Will.
