Hayden Hall is the home to Penn's Department of Earth and Environmental Science, part of the School of Arts and Sciences.

Originally built in 1895 to house the University's Dental School, the handsome red design marks the shift towards the medieval past that would characterize the campus under Provost Charles Custis Harrison.  In 1969, it was renovated to accommodate School of Arts and Sciences programs.
