UMass Lowell
Pasteur Hall
Pasteur Hall houses the College of Management and contains a high concentration of the campus’s high-tech classrooms, including those equipped for UML’s new podcasting system.
When the building was completed – the final one in UML North’s original quadrangle – in 1910, it had only one floor. It was known as the Colonial Avenue (now VFW Parkway) Building until 1938. That year, construction of three additional floors was completed and the building was named for French chemist Dr. Louis Pasteur. The building was the long-time home of the Chemistry Department.
Fun Fact: During the Merrimack River flood of 1936, the school became a kind of refugee camp for the many displaced families of the city. Chemistry students used the department’s labs to pasteurize milk for all the children.
