Fisher - Bennett Hall

Originally built as Bennett College, the first facility built for women at the University;  including classrooms, a library, a gymnasium and a student union, this structure is an important landmark to the campus. The building was renovated and upgraded in 2005 and re-opened in 2006 as Fisher-Bennett Hall. It currently houses the English Department, English Language Programs, Music Department and Cinema Studies Department.

The unusual plan of Bennett Hall, with the main facade on the beveled corner, is dictated by its unusual site at the juncture of three streets (Walnut, 34th, and the diagonal of the former Woodland Avenue).  The principal facade is symmetrical with a central tower articulated by decorative buttresses rising to corner spires above the main entrance.
