            Located on Observatory Street, the original building is “U” shaped, three stories, and has a red brick and limestone exterior.  Construction was completed on the Lewis Sarvis designed structure in 1943.  The cost of the building was $534,000 with funding provided by W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.[94]  The building contains classrooms, administrative offices, and circular library and auditorium.  Projecting from the front portion are two wings devoted to research.[94] 

            Recently, one of the wings was demolished to create a new addition that will provide additional space and link the seven story structure to the original building.  The road beneath will be unobstructed to traffic by an open archway.[21]
