History

Ward Hall contains shops, laboratories, offices and classrooms for teaching and research in nuclear engineering. The Department of Nuclear Engineering was authorized by the Kansas Board of Regents in 1958. Its well equipped teaching and research laboratories on the lower level provide excellent facilities for nuclear fuel processing, neutron activation analysis and gamma ray spectroscopy, radiation effects on material, environmental radiation and heat transfer. The TRIGA Mark II reactor is part of this complex and accessible from this building. The wing to the left of the front entrance was completed in 1962 and the portion to the right was completed in 1972. The building was named in honor of Dr. T. Ward who established the curriculum in Nuclear Engineering while he was head of the Department of Chemical Engineering.
