History

Built in 1970 and remodeled in 1989, heroic modernism masks the unlikely link between a garage at the south end and a dining hall at the north. Slope-topped lightwells, and cantilevered stairs on the exterior designed as part of the 1989 expansion recall the sculptural late work of LeCorbusier in a building that is a part of the Superblock campus of the Harnwell era expansion.
