ECONOMICS AND ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES FACULTY BUILDING (WASHBURN HALL)
|
Washburn Hall or the present-day Economics and Administrative Sciences Building was financed by Mrs. William E.Dodge, the widow of Mr. William E.Dodge. This classroom-office building was completed in 1906 and named after President George Washburn who had resigned from the presidency in 1903. Washburn Hall, like the other buildings constructed before the First World War, was built of the blue limestone quarried on the campus. At one time it contained the offices of President, Dean, Registrar and Treasurer, a Museum, THE ONLY NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM IN TURKEY and a biological laboratory. The top floors, that is, the fifth floor and half of the fourth floor, once housed a Natural History Museum of great value. It is now housing the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences including Economics, Management, Political Science and International Relations departments. To protect the pathway from Hamlin Hall to Washburn in stormy weather, a covered ramp was provided.
