Did Edgar Allan Loew ever imagine his name gracing a hall buzzing with engineering innovation? Here at Loew Hall, built in 1965, his legacy lives on. Loew Hall isn’t just another building on the University of Washington campus. It’s a hub of activity, the heart of the College of Engineering. Designed by Bassetti & Company in the Italian Neo-Liberty style, its brick facade speaks of a timeless elegance. Loew Hall cost approximately $3 million to construct, a joint project with the underground walkway connecting it to the Engineering Library. Today, Loew Hall houses not only the Dean’s Office but also Student Academic Services and the Office of Inclusive Excellence. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of education and collaboration. A fascinating piece of Loew Hall’s history unfolded in 1969. Students for a Democratic Society, protesting the Vietnam War, targeted military recruiters on campus. During one such protest, thousands of students marched towards Loew Hall to confront Navy recruiters. Suddenly, a truckload of beehives appeared. Someone, dressed in a beekeeper suit, began overturning the hives, unleashing a swarm of angry bees upon the protesters. Despite the stinging chaos, the students persevered, occupying Loew Hall and successfully disrupting the recruitment efforts that day. Loew Hall has witnessed history, nurtured innovation, and continues to shape the future of engineering.
