Houston Hall

Built as a students' club house and the first student union in America, this English Collegiate building was designed by two students from the University's Department of Architecture (William C. Hays and Milton B. Medary). The implementation of the design was overseen by Philadelphia architect Frank Miles Day. 

The most recent restoration of the building, completed in 1999. It once housed a bowling alley, swimming pool, theater and gymnasium. Today, it offers meeting rooms, open student lounge and study areas and several food outlets.
