Sunday May 23, 1999. (1 ). Retrieved on March 2, 2012.〕 the University of Washington School of Law moved from the former Condon Hall, which was renamed Gowen Hall.〔 When the law school moved there, the space available to it increased.〔"(About the Law School )." University of Washington School of Law. Retrieved on March 3, 2012.〕 The university planned for Condon to house classrooms, a moot court, seminar spaces, and a main reading room. The project's first phase had of space. The budget for general construction was $3,814,900. The budget for furnishings was $250,000. The first phase included a law library and classroom space for 500 pupils.〔 The university planned to construct a second phase, which would have increased the size of the building to .〔 The second phase was supposed to have space for 50 post-graduate students and an addition to the law library that would double its size.〔 In 1982 an economic recession occurred, forcing the university to cancel its plans. The law school gradually increased in size, and Condon became too small for the law school.〔 Various departments of the law school were forced to occupy other buildings.〔Olson, Sherri. "On Architecture: UW's William H. Gates Hall projects a spirit of welcome openness." ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer''. Sunday November 9, 2003. (1 ). Retrieved on March 2, 2012.〕 The Washington State Legislature, on two occasions, failed to provide the funds to expand the building. At a later point the university decided that it could build a new administrative services building and then store extra administrative services that were previously spread across the university campus at Condon Hall. The university would use the cost savings to allow it to build a new law school.〔King, Marsha. "(Objections Raised Over Plan For New UW Law School )." ''Seattle Times''. Thursday April 4, 1996. Retrieved on March 3, 2012.〕 For a period of over one decade, officials from the law school advocated for a replacement for the Condon building.〔 In 2003 the UW School of Law moved out of Condon, and settled into William H. Gates Hall.〔 The university planned to use Condon as "surge space" after the law school moved out. That means that departments or offices would be temporarily located at Condon while their permanent facilities underwent renovation.〔"(A New Building for a New Millenium )." University of Washington School of Law. June 3, 2000. Retrieved on March 3, 2012.〕 Colleen Pike, the UW principal higher education facilities planner, said that the UW campus had no other "surge space" facilities. Once Condon Hall was emptied, the university planned to begin the renovations of Guggenheim and Johnston halls.〔 Beginning in 2006, on a temporary basis, Condon began to house the UW College of Built Environments Department of Architecture, the Department of Applied Mathematics, and the UW College of Engineering Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics. From around 2007 to around 2009, the university used it as surge space and, while Savery Hall was refurbished, several humanities departments were housed at Condon.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Condon Hall (University of Washington)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
