IWbmen's Gymnasium

The Women's Gymnasium, completed in 1931, was the last building Charles A. Piatt designed for the University. The grand balance which he achieves between the emphatic entranceway and the imposing chimneys at each end gives the building great dignity and character. In perfection of proportion, appropriate use of materials, unity of concept, and judicious use of detail, the Women's Gymnasium is a model of what an adaptation of Georgian style to the new functions should be.
