Scott Rudolph Hall

Scott Rudolph Hall is located to the northeast of Brookings Hall.

Aside from laboratories and offices, the building also houses one medium classroom, one small classroom, a computer lab, several teaching laboratories and the Matthew A. Grossman Museum of mineral specimens and meteorites.

The architectural firm of Tsoi/Kobus & Associates of Boston designed the four-level 150,000-square-foot structure. Keeping with the classic Collegiate Gothic style of most other buildings on campus, the structure features Missouri red granite, limestone facing and a green slate roof. It was the first LEED-certified “green” building at Washington University in St. Louis.
