Construction of the Science and Engineering Offices
The Science and Engineering Offices, which are 13 stories in height, opened in 1968. The two sections of the building, slightly off-set from one another, contain matching concrete-framed scissor staircases, visible from the building exterior. Again, narrow recessed windows on the building signal the work of Walter Netsch.
A large engraved block of granite bearing the name Science and Engineering Offices identifies the building on both the north and south sides. Today, a black wrought iron fence has replaced the brick wall that originally surrounded campus.
