University of Denver Cherrington Hall, Boettcher Center and Johnson-McFarlane Hall, 1972

Black and white contact sheet of 12 medium-format images of exterior views of Ben M. Cherrington Hall, Johnson-McFarlane Hall and the Boettcher Center on the campus of the University of Denver in Denver, CO. 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. Johnson-McFarlane Hall or "J-Mac" was built in 1957. J-Mac is a residence hall, used for first-year student housing. Dedicated in 1963, the Boettcher Center for Science, Engineering and Research consisted of three buildings until October of 2010, when the east wing was demolished. The Boettcher Center's distinctive pre-cast concrete structure is an example of mid-century modern Formalist/International architecture.
