Plan for proposed Peabody Hall Quadrangle, ca. 1928 Edmund S. Campbell Ink and crayon on paper, 24 ¾ x 36 ¾ in. University Archives (RG-31/1/2:2.981)

While directing the Architectural Commission’s work on the Monroe Hill Dormitories and Monroe Hall in the late 1920s, Edmund S. Campbell proposed sites for future academic and residential buildings in keeping with the planning concepts established by McKim, Mead & White and Warren Manning. His plan positioned Peabody Hall at the center of a new colonnaded quadrangle responding to both the West Range and the newly created axis connecting Memorial Gymnasium and the Rotunda.
