==Construction of "New" Harrison Hall==
On April 29, 1957, the State Department of Industrial Relations condemned any further instructional use of Harrison Hall after a building inspection. As a result, Miami allocated resources to many of the academic divisions housed within Harrison Hall to other buildings on campus including Bonham House and Ogden Hall.〔“Building Program.” The President’s Report to the Board of Trustees for the year ending June 30, 1957 55.18 (1957): 20-23. Print〕 After this, plans for the new Harrison Hall began, which were decided upon on February 1, 1958 by the Board of Trustees. The Board stated that the new Harrison Hall should be devoted to classroom purposes and that it would house the departments of Sociology and Anthropology, Psychology, Government, and the Scripps Foundation.〔“Academic Facilities.” The Report of the President of Miami University to the Board of Trustees for the year ending June 30, 1958 56.18 (1958): 20-23. Print〕 Bids for the construction of the new building were received on October 17, 1958 by the State Architect’s Office in Columbus and construction began in January.〔Miami University. “Academic Affairs.” The Report of the President of Miami University to the Board of Trustees for the year ending June 30, 1959 57.18 (1959): 16-17. Print〕 The cornerstone was laid on May 9, 1959 and was presided by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Hugh C. Nichols.〔“The Cornerstone Laying of Benjamin Harrison Hall Miami University.” Miami University Program 9 May 1959: n. pag. Print〕 A strike that began on June 8, 1959 interrupted the construction of the building, which was later completed in 1960.〔
The new Harrison Hall was designed to resemble the old building, and is only about 60 percent as large as Old Main, yet it actually has more space for students and for activities.〔 A memorandum by then President John D. Millett on April 3, 1959 discussed the potential distribution of rooms and offices within the new Harrison Hall, also stating which departments would be housed within the building.〔Millett, John D. “Assignment of Space in Harrison Hall.” Memorandum 3 Apr. 1959: n. pag. Print〕 The official dedication of Harrison Hall occurred on October 8, 1960, which occurred inside one of the three lecture rooms featured within the building. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, E.W. Nippert, presided over the ceremony, while James H. Maloon represented the State of Ohio.〔The Miami Alumnus. “The beautiful, functional new Harrison Hall.” The Miami Alumnus Nov. 1960: 8-9. Print〕 Harrison Hall is and cost $1,004,000 to build.〔Glos, R.E. The buildings of Miami University. N.p.: n.p., 1983. Print〕
