Homewood Campus Tour

Macaulay Hall was constructed in 1963-64 to provide facilities for the Department of Oceanography and the Chesapeake Bay Institute. The construction costs were funded by joint grants from the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, and the Atomic Energy Commission. After the Chesapeake Bay Institute moved to new quarters closer to the Bay, in Shady Side, Maryland, the Department of Anthropology, the Institute for Global Studies in Culture, Power and History, the Homewood Photography Lab, and the Office of Radiation, Safety and Environment moved to Macaulay Hall.

The building is named in honor of P. Stewart Macaulay (AB 1923, secretary of the University from 1936-42, provost 1942-59, and executive vice president 1959-66) who was instrumental in establishing both the Chesapeake Bay Institute and the University's Applied Physics Laboratory in Howard County.
