List of buildings at Florida State University

Last updated

Florida State University is a foremost member in the State University System of Florida and has many notable buildings located in cities including Tallahassee, Panama City, and Sarasota. As is typical in the United States, most of the university's buildings were designed in the Collegiate Gothic architectural style; the last being Cawthon Hall dormitory in 1949. From the 1950s through the 1980s, many have utilized Brutalist and Modern styles. Beginning with the University Center, the design of FSU's buildings shifted to Jacobethan/Jacobean architecture style, similar to the earlier Collegiate Gothic. The university has over 300 buildings on the main campus (about 100 have classrooms); 14.6 million gross square feet of building space. [1] The campus encompasses over 1,100 acres (8.1 km2) and is home to many notable structures, including Dodd Hall, an ornate example of Collegiate Gothic architecture that passed 100 years in 2023, and the Westcott Building, the most recognizable building on campus.

Building details

Alumni Center Facility

The Alumni Center Facility

Conradi Building

This building was designed by James Gamble Rogers II, a prominent architect based out of Winter Park, Florida. He also designed the Florida Supreme Court Building, a Greek Revival structure on 500 South Duval Street. Construction of this four-story classroom building was completed in February 1956 at the start of the university's second semester. On October 20, 1956, the building was dedicated to Dr. Edward Conradi, the president of the Florida State College for Women from 1909 to 1941. The Conradi building housed the biological sciences and had greenhouses added over the years. The building was demolished in 2013, and the space is currently a parking lot. [7]

DeGraff Hall

DeGraff Hall was built as a response to the growing student population spurned on by incoming WWII veterans and the 1947 Florida Legislation that turned Florida State College for Women into Florida State University, a co-educational institution. Originally called Senior Hall, this modern dormitory, with its large windows and patios, was designed by architect Robert Fitch Smith, and it was completed in April 1950. It was considered luxury accommodations compared to the Mabry barracks on the west campus. In the fall of 1960, the dorm became a co-ed residence, one of the first dorms in the U.S. to do that. Men lived in one wing and the women lived in the other. On May 6, 1961, the dorm was dedicated to Dr. Mark H. DeGraff, a professor of education. After 55 years, the dorm was demolished to make way for the new DeGraff Residence Halls. [7]

Deviney Hall

Originally named Florida Hall, this dorm was built for the female students. It was designed by Guy C. Fulton, AIA, the Architect to the Board of Control (1945–1956). When the building was completed in September 1952, male students moved in temporarily until the all-male Smith Hall was completed. When the male students moved out, the dorm became an all-female residence. It was dedicated on July 23, 1965, to Ezda May Deviney, a zoology professor who taught for 33 years. In 2015, the dorm was demolished to make way for the Azalea and Magnolia residence halls. [7]

Dorman Hall

Dorman Hall was one of the last dorms built during the 1950s. The eight-story building was built for 250 female students who moved in during September 1959. When they first moved in, they only furniture they had were beds. Desks and chairs arrived a month later. It was dedicated to Dr. Olivia Dorman on November 14, 1959. Dr. Dorman was a classics professor who became the dean of students in 1934. She was popular with the students because she "modernized social rules regarding smoking, riding in cars, and dating." She also began a counseling program for students living in the dorms. The building was demolished in 2015. [7]

Gunter Building

The three-story, L-shaped building was designed by Guy C. Fulton, AIA, Architect to the Board of Control. It was completed in 1957 and housed the Florida Geological Survey, a state agency. In December 1957, it was dedicated to Dr. Herman Gunter, who was the State Geologist. He was with FSU's geology department for 50 years, and at the time of the dedication, he was the oldest state employee at 72 years old. He retired in March the following year. The building was demolished in 2015. [7]

Infirmary

The Infirmary building was built in two parts. The first part was completed in 1921, and it connected to Reynolds Hall. They expanded the building in 1939 by adding a section to the west. The new section became the infirmary, and the old section became part of Reynolds Hall. The original building was designed by Architects Edwards & Sayward of Atlanta. The 1939 section was designed by Rudolph Weaver, Architect to the Board of Control. Student health services moved out of the Infirmary Building in 1966 when the Thagard Building was completed. The Infirmary eventually became the Regional Speech and Hearing Clinic. In June 2012, the building was demolished to make room for the Honors, Scholars, and Fellows House. [7]

Kellum Hall

Kellum Hall was the last dormitory built in the 1950s. It was dedicated to John G. Kellum on November 14, 1959. He served as the university's business manager from 1907 to 1945. Soon after the dedication, male students moved in and it remained all-male until the early 1970s. The building was designed by Guy C. Fulton, AIA, Architect to the Board of Control. The dorm was 11-stories tall and housed 575 students. It was demolished in 2016. [7]

Magnolia Hall

When President Doak Campbell started his tenure in the fall of 1941, the housing situation for the students was in dire need of an upgrade. All the dorms were filled to capacity. To ease crowded living arrangements, emergency housing was granted to the Florida State College for Women in 1944 by the War Production Board . Magnolia Hall was built for this emergency, and it was designed to hold 154 students. Its construction consisted of concrete blocks instead of wood; therefore, it became the most fireproof building on campus. Although it was considered a temporary building, the dormitory lasted until July 1979. It was demolished to make room for the new Library Science building. [7]

Oglesby Student Union

The growing student body needed a centralized place to socialize. Prior to the construction of this building, student services were located in Westcott, Longmire, and various places around campus. This new Student Union contained a post office, a bookstore, a restaurant, study rooms, conference rooms, and rooms for student groups. Russell T. Pancoast & Associates designed this building. Pancoast was a prominent architect from South Florida who also designed the John S. Collins Memorial Library, now the Bass Museum. In 1964, the university expanded the Student Union with four more buildings: Student Activities, Crenshaw bowling alley, Moore Auditorium, and the Davis food service building. The Turner building was added to the Union Complex in 1988. Four of these buildings were demolished in 2018 to make way for the new Student Union. [7]

Reynolds Hall

The 60-unit, three building complex across from the stadium was constructed in 1987 as the dormitory for the football team. Although Burt Reynolds did not pay for the building, Seminole Boosters named it in his honor at its' dedication in 1987. It remained an athletic dorm until exclusive athletic dorms were banned by the NCAA in 1995. It became general student housing that year. The dorm was demolished in September 2025 to become a parking lot, [8] ironic considering parking was always a problem at the dorm. [9]

Smith Hall

This 11-story dorm was designed by Bail, Horton and Associates, and it was completed fall of 1953. It was originally called West Hall because it was the westernmost dorm on campus at the time. It was also the tallest building in Tallahassee when it was built. On the 11th floor was a solarium that provided views of the capitol dome, church spires. and of campus. On May 6, 1961, the building was renamed and dedicated to Elmer Riggs Smith, who was the head of the math department and assistant coach for the Florida State College football team in 1904. Two FSU Presidents, TK Wetherell and Eric Barron, lived in Smith Hall. For the 1972–1973 school year, Smith Hall became a co-ed residence. The dorm was demolished summer of 2017. [7]
