Latrobe Hall
Latrobe Hall, originally known as the
Civil Engineering Building,
was designed by Joseph Evans Sperry. Ground was broken in October
1915, and the building was occupied in the fall of 1916. It was
renamed in 1931 to acknowledge the financial support of the state
of Maryland. Benjamin Henry Latrobe, Jr., was a Maryland native
and chief engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at the end
of the 19th century. The building was completely remodeled with a
10,000 square foot addition in 1984-85, and rededicated on
September 9, 1985.
Today, in addition to the Department of Civil Engineering,
Latrobe Hall houses the
Department of Mechanical Engineering.
