Buildings<br />

Campus buildings located within this area include<br />

the Collier Hall of Science (1970), the Hurd<br />

Academic Complex (2003), the Bahnson Center<br />

(1976), FMPC facilities in the northwest corner of<br />

the campus (2005), as well as historic buildings,<br />

once residences, that the college either owns <strong>and</strong><br />

uses as offices or housing <strong>and</strong> those that the college<br />

does not own, but leases <strong>for</strong> offices or housing.<br />

parking lots, historic <strong>and</strong> modern buildings, <strong>and</strong> expressing the<br />

original grid of the area (JMA 2008).<br />

The other early twentieth century brick residences<br />

within this character area are located at the<br />

northeast corner, facing onto a large parking lot<br />

that was once an extension of Lenox Avenue (see<br />

figure 5-142). They are very similar in design <strong>and</strong><br />

construction to the other two residences in this<br />

block, described in the Colonial Hall character area<br />

section. While these were built as residences, they<br />

appear to currently house college offices.<br />

For a more detailed building analysis <strong>and</strong><br />

discussion, refer to Chapter Eight of this report.<br />
