About
Gartley Hall was designed by architect J.H. Craig in the Neo-Classical Style. Built in 1922, it was originally called the “Laboratory Building,” but was later renamed after Alonzo Gartley who was the first chairman of the Board of Regents.
Additional Information
Historical:
Gartley Hall was the third permanent building on campus and part of the Quad. It originally hosted Chemistry and Physics classes, followed by the sugar program, and then the psychology department. In December of 1941, Acting President Keller received a letter stating that the Corp of Engineers would take over several of the University’s buildings for use as shelters, operations facilities, and military personnel training. The University regained use of Gartley and other buildings in 1945.
Botanical:
Gartley Hall is shaded by Pink Trumpet Trees and Cuban Royal Palms.
Sustainability:
Gartley Hall has a LEED Gold certification thanks to changes made during its renovation in 2014. It has photovoltaic panels that generate 65,700 kWh a year, a solar tube system that provides natural lighting in conjunction with Energy Star lighting and equipment, and uses water efficiently, with a natural wastewater recycling system. Materials used in its renovation included certified sustainable wood, low-emitting paints, adhesives, and carpets.
