10. The Maxwell Complex
|
|
|
These adjoining buildings - Maxwell Hall, built in 1937 and renovated in 1994, and Melvin A. Eggers Hall, built in 1993 - serve as the home for the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Maxwell Hall was built by the same architects and in the same style as Hendricks Chapel. In a ceremony on November 12, 1937, former United States President Herbert Hoover dedicated the building, which was a gift of Mr. and Mrs. George Maxwell.
In the early 1990s the Maxwell School embarked on an expansion project to house all of its programs and departments together. The resulting structure, Eggers Hall, contains the Global Collaboratory, a multimedia facility equipped to provide access to foreign- language television and radio broadcasts, international press reports, a variety of maps, and quantitative data. Eggers, a professor in the economics department, served as the University's Chancellor for 20 years.
