Close up of Dana Building Today

 

            Located just north of Randall Laboratories, this three story building with a basement was completed in 1903.[103]  It is rectangular in shape, and has an interior courtyard to let in light throughout the building.  The lower story has an exterior of fieldstone with the upper two stories faced with a light brown colored brick.  This Renaissance style building was designed by Spier and Rohns at the cost of $167,000.[103]  The building originally housed various departments within the sciences and offices and laboratories for the Medical School.

            Known today as the Dana Building, it houses the School of Natural Resources.  The building was recently renovated and the interior light court is now completely enclosed as a glass atrium with additional study space.
