Plaque text:
Nagle Hall is one of the oldest buildings on campus, constructed in 1909 as the Civil Engineering Building. Renamed in 1929 for James C. Nagle, the first Dean of the School of Engineering. The design maintains the campus' distinct classical architectural style while making extensive use of cast stone in the columns, belt courses, cornices and balustrades. The façade is marked by four engaged ionic columns sitting on a belt course created by the first story above ground and serves as a stylobate, thus permitting the columns to extend through the second and third floors.
