Van Hise, "who led the Department of Mineralogy and Geology to national prominence" and then served as president of the university.〔 The building was constructed in 1888. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.〔〔 and 〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The History of Science Hall )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Chronology of Selected Events in Frank Lloyd Wright's Life )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-08-01 )〕 ==Architecture== Science Hall is a U-shaped, three story building built in a Romanesque Revival motif. It was designed by Milwaukee architect Henry C. Koch and was later altered during construction by Allan D. Conover, a professor of civil engineering at the school. Rhyolite ashlar provides a bright red exterior. The main facade of the building is long and overlooks Park Street. It features a five-story tower with a hipped roof. Wings stretch to the west from the north and south. There are four three-story towers on each corner of the wings. A small, three-story round tower is found on each courtyard side of the two wings on the western extremity. Roofs were originally slate, but were replaced with asphalt shingles in 1992. A terra cotta hip roll decorates the towers below the roofs. There are sixteen brick chimneys throughout the building, all featuring a corbelled top.〔
