University of Denver Cherrington Hall, 1975

Exterior view, from the east, of Ben M. Cherrington Hall on the campus of the University of Denver in Denver, CO, with the old art building in the foreground and Johnson-McFarlane Hall and Mount Evans in the background. In front of Cherrington Hall there are temporary housing units. Cherrington Hall was built in 1966 to house the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) and is an example of International Style architecture. Local Denver architect Edwin A. Francis was selected for the design of the building, which was built by the Pinkard Construction Company. Perkins and Will Architects took over the project when Edwin Francis died during construction.
