In doing some research on Ellis Fuller Lawrence, for whom Lawrence Hall and the Courtyard is named after, I discovered that the current Lawrence Hall replaced the previous Architecture and Art Building of 1923 on this site, in which Ellis Lawrence had designed. Lawrence was a prolific architect for the University of Oregon and designed over 500 projects including churches, residences, commercial and industrial buildings, funerary buildings, multi-family residences, and public buildings.
