EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Education Buildin Construction of the Education Building in 1964 marked the first intrusion of a completely contemporary design into an area of the campus long dedicated to the Georgian style. Designer A. Richard Williams, a staff member of the Department of Architecture, collaborated on the Education Building with the firm of Lundeen and Hilfinger. By a skillful use of proportions of materials that harmonized with the older buildings, Williams showed a juxtaposition of old and new was entirely possible. A dramatic overhang for the upper story, large areas of glass, a walled-in garden area, sensitive handling of metal elements - - all combined a splendid openness with needed isolation and specialized use of space.
