  • Hutchinson Hall UW Historic Resources Addendum
    Hutchinson Hall UW Historic Resources Addendum BOLA Architecture + Planning June 8, 2012 1. INTRODUCTION Background The University of Washington is proposing to reroof portions of Hutchinson Hall, which was built in 1927 as the Women’s Physical Education Building. The building is located in the north area of campus, which dates from its establishment in the late 19th century. The proposed project will involve repairs or replacement of deteriorated, original and non-original roofing, which consists of slate and composition shingles, as well as membrane materials at built-in gutters and flat roof areas. The original roof also has copper flashing, ridge cresting, eave gutters and downspouts. Consistent with its historic preservation policies, as outlined in its “University of Washington Master Plan—Seattle Campus” of January 2003 (2003 Seattle Campus Master Plan), the University of Washington sought historic and urban design information about Hutchinson Hall in a Historic Resources Addendum (HRA). This type of report is developed for any project that makes exterior alterations to a building over 50 years old, or is adjacent to a building or a significant campus feature older than 50 years. Hutchinson Hall is subject to this requirement because of its age. An HRA is required also for public spaces identified in Fig. III-2 of the 2003 Seattle Campus Master Plan. This report provides historical and architectural information about the building, a preliminary evaluation of its historic significance to the University, information about the proposed project, and recommendations. A bibliography and list of source documents is provided at the end of the text, followed by original drawings, building plans, and historic and contemporary photographs.

  • The University of Washington
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Founded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its research, instruc- tional and public service missions. Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and contracts awarded to its faculty. In 2001, the most recent year for which that data has been collected, the UW ranked second overall and first among public universities. Total grant and contract activity for 2002 exceeded $800 million. More than 80 percent of the university’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contrib- utes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library system that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes.

  • November 2007 Historic Resources Addendum For: LEWIS HALL
    November 2007 Historic Resources Addendum for: LEWIS HALL HISTORY Lewis Hall, one of the oldest remaining buildings on the University of Washington campus, was constructed in 1899 to serve as a dormitory for male students. It was built at the same time as Clark Hall, the original women’s dormitory, shortly after the campus moved from its original downtown Seattle location to its present site in 1895. Founded in 1861, the university originally occupied a ten-acre tract roughly bounded by Third and Fifth Avenues and Union and Seneca Streets. Surrounded by a white picket fence, the campus located on top of Denny’s Knoll eventually included the Territorial University Building constructed in 1861, a two-story frame house for the University President, where the female students also boarded, and a separate dormitory for men. Despite the responsibilities and difficulties inherent in providing living quarters for students, the dormitory facilities were seen as integral to the territorial university in order to attract men and women from all parts of Washington State. Although the outlying site on Denny’s Knoll seemed somewhat removed from the center of town in Pioneer Square when first chosen, it later proved to be inadequate for future expansion, especially after Washington’s elevation to statehood in 1889. In the intervening years, the city’s population had grown from some 250 inhabitants to over 40,000, and urban development had surrounded the once remote site, exposing students to the excitement and temptations of city life. In early 1891, the present location was selected due to its relative proximity to the downtown, its generous amount of available and undeveloped acreage, and its great potential for fabulous views.
