The building, attached to the original greenhouses built in 1924, helped to alleviate overcrowding in the adjacent Physics Building. In 1956 the laboratory was demolished along with the greenhouse to make way for the new Biological-Geological Sciences Building.

Art and stories etched in glass

The Collegiate Gothic architecture of The University of Western Ontario offers up a timeless and imposing pres- ence. Yet there are many other unique campus features that may get missed in the rush to classes, labs and meet- ings. Western News will take a closer look at some of the characteristics that paint the campus with so much of its character and individuality.

auded as one of the “noblest” rooms of its kind in Canada, Con- Lron Hall - originally opened in September 1924 as Convocation Hall – has come to symbolize the history, character and quality of higher education at Western. While the Collegiate Gothic style, stone traceries, decorative balustrades, carved paneling and cathedral heights are among it’s tell-tale charms, the leaded glass windows, interspersed with blue and gold fleur-de-lis, featuring crests of colleges and universities Left: Lawrence National Centre for Policy and Management; Right: Law Library punctuate the room with lively colour and give life to the 85-year-old hall. The hall is on the second floor of Uni- versity College, one of the two original buildings of campus. The 33 ‘Crests of Conron’ represent everything from Canadian colleges and universities at the time, such as Queen’s, McMaster and Dalhousie, to commonwealths such as Calcutta, Ire- land and New Zealand. But stained glass is also contributing to inspiration in the Richard Ivey School of Business and the Faculty of Law. Within the atrium of the business school, a series of arching stained glass panels greet visitors to the Lawrence National Centre for Policy and Manage- ment. In the Law library, an enormous and colourful creation rains light down on the studying students. Almost every stained glass panel comes with a story and this is certainly true in the Moot Court Room where an eight-panel stained glass window domi- nates the rear of the classroom. The Ivan C. Rand Memorial Window recognizes the faculty’s founding dean, a towering Moot Court Room Photos by Paul Mayne, Western News figure in Canadian legal history.
