Kamphoefner Hall

Kamphoefner Hall was completed in 1978 with Wolf Associates serving as the architect. Originally named the School of Design Addition (SODA), the faculty voted to rename it in honor of founding dean Henry Leveke Kamphoefner in 1989. The building stands on the grounds of the former YMCA building.

Following a study that concluded a renovation was not feasible for the YMCA building, the building was demolished in 1975. In 2006, the ground and first floors of the building were renovated by Cannon Architects. Two spaces received naming dedications – Burns Auditorium and Allred Gallery.

Burns Auditorium was named in honor of Robert Paschal Burns, alumnus and longtime faculty member and administrator of the college. The Allred Gallery was named for S. Aaron Allred, one of the first graduates in architecture from 1953.
