All tagged Singer Hall
The aesthetics of Swarthmore College’s Singer Hall — which will eventually be the home of the psychology, biology, and engineering departments — have been controversial since ground was broken in 2018. Some people think the building’s great, while others have declared it a monstrosity, or worse. Surprisingly few are lukewarm. What do you think?
The new building, a 158,000-square-foot home for Swarthmore’s biology, engineering, and psychology departments, was first conceived in 2011 as part of an institutional strategic plan. In December 2012, the college announced a $50 million gift to be used toward the project. This, the largest gift in the school’s history, came from alumnus and philanthropist Eugene Lang ‘38, who died in 2017.
