Culler Hall (Miami University)
Culler Hall is a classroom building at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Its construction was completed in 1961. With the dedication of Culler Hall on Sunday, January 29, 1961, John B. Whitlock (Chairman of Building and Grounds Committee for the Board of Trustees) presented Culler Hall as a new building with classrooms and laboratories dedicated to the study of Mathematics, Physics, and Aeronautics. Built from 1959 to 1961, Culler Hall construction warranted the cutting down of around 60 trees (many of which were very old and found to be dying from within upon removal). The clearing of these trees led to the creation of the protected Bishop Woods. In October 1957, then President of Miami University, Dr. John D. Millett, contacted architects from Cellarius and Hilmer Architects to estimate the cost of adding air-conditioning into Culler Hall during its creation. This warranted 8 inches more for each floor, creating a necessary amount of about $43,000 more for the project. The center of the U-shaped structure has an impressive glass front entrance showing off the Foucault Pendulum within. More information about this pendulum can be found below.
Culler Hall has and will remain harboring the same sciences until its inclusion into the Armstrong Student Center within Phase 2 of construction.
==Joseph Albertus Culler==
Culler Hall was named after the first Professor of Physics in the history of Miami University, Dr. Joseph Albertus Culler. Dr. Culler taught physics at Miami University from 1903-27. An oval plaque in front of Culler Hall's main doors honors Joseph A. Culler. The plaque was fashioned in the same manner as the one for another, Miami University academic building, Harrison Hall, which was built one year earlier.
