Women's Building, 1939. Completed in 1926, the Women's Building was designed by architect John V. Bennes of Portland, who designed more than 20 OSU campus buildings constructed during the 1910s through 1930s. However, this was his only campus commission as a result of an open competition. It is considered by many to be his masterpiece.
Designed as a physical education facility for women, it now houses the College of Health and Human Performance and classes are held in the building for both men and women. [OSU Archives P16:94]
