Johnson Hall was called the Biological Laboratory early in its planning stages in 1930. This picture was taken shortly after it was built in July of 1930. John Graham was the architect for the original building and the addition in 1948. (Ivester, Bldg. 106)

Architecture Hall

Built in 1908 as the art museum for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, the building (called Bagley Hall at that time) was then designed for a permanent chemistry building and equipped for that purpose. "Inmates of Bagley Hall referred to it as "Chem Shack" and spoke with particular affection of 'those who have inhaled its odorous fumes and withstood its ravages.'" (Gates, p. 105) It was remodeled in September of 1937 for the Physiology and Architecture Departments and renamed Physiology Hall. Around 1950 the name was again changed, this time to Architecture Hall. The original construction cost was $216,794 and the architects were Howard and Galloway. Some additional remodeling was done in 1962. (Ivester, Bldg. 019)

Bagley Hall

This building was named after the old Bagley Hall (now Architecture Hall!) and housed the Chemistry and Pharmacy Departments. The original construction cost was $1,217,000, when it was built in 1935-36 and was the most expensive building built before World War II. In 1963 the fourth floor was finished and expanded to cover the whole building by architects Carlson, Eley, and Grevstad. The project architects were Naramore, Granger, and Thomas. In 1951 the third floor was designed and finished by the Buildings and Grounds Department. Then a flammable liquids storage building was added by project architects Joyce, Copeland, and Vaughan. Designers Thompson, Miller, and Lyons Engineers Inc. remodeled the Northeast zone in 1976. (Ivester, Bldg. 117)
