University of Denver Cherrington Hall, Sturm Hall and Boettcher Center, 1983

Black and white contact sheet of exterior views of Ben M. Cherrington Hall (including several shots of its carved main entry doors), Sturm Hall and 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. Sturm Hall, formerly known as the General Classroom Building, was built in 1969 with Perkins & Will Architects. Major renovations and re-dedication of the building as Sturm Hall took place in 2000. 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.
