History

In 1934 Denison Hall housing the physical science departments, burned. Temporary space was provided in the east and west wings of Waters Hall. Appropriations for a building to replace old Denison were postponed because of the poor financial condition of the state during the "depression" and drought years. Construction was finally started in 1937 and was ready for occupancy two years later at a cost of $435,000. Stone for the exterior was quarried locally but the limestone trim was obtained in Indiana. This building was extensively remodeled in 1965. It was named in honor of Dr. J.T. Willard who held several important positions during his long stay at the college.
