McCracken Hall, Western Michigan University
Constructed in 1949, McCracken Hall was designed to house the paper science studies and chemistry facilities and was dedicated to William McCracken, a well-known faculty member. McCracken Hall is no longer used for academic classes, but continues to house the paper science studies' Paper Pilot Program which is located on the lower level. The original 1949 building remains but the second phase of McCracken was demolished in 2017.
The photo on the left is from the Western Michigan University collection and was taken around 1949. The photo on the right was taken by Christina LaCasse, Western Michigan University, School of Art, 2009.
